How to customise the display for venues
The in-room display is a web page designed to be shown on a screen in the venue. From the project interface, you can generate URLs for one or more displays.
Transcript screen
By default, the URL will point to the “transcript screen”, which includes the transcript and an optional QR code.
Customisation options for this screen include:
- Language – Choose the language in which captions are displayed
- Caption theme – Dark or light mode
- Dialogue style – Choose how speaker turns are indicated, including:
- Speaker numbers
- Double chevrons (
>>) without line breaks - Double chevrons (
>>) with line breaks - Double chevrons (
>>) with line breaks and colour-coded speaker changes
- Font size – Adjustable via a size pickers
- Font type – Choose from available font styles, including custom team fonts
- QR code size – Adjust the size of the QR code, or hide it completely
- QR code helper text – Add optional instructions or information below the code.
A live preview is available in-app, so you can instantly see how your display settings will look without needing to open the full editor
Holding screen
You can point the URL at a static holding screen, which displays the QR code and helper text (same as transcript screen).
Automatically switch between transcript and holding
Setting the screen option to “Automatic” will make the the display start at the holding screen, and switch over automatically when the first transcript arrives. In most cases this is the recommended option.
