ShowTiming

Broadcast (optional)

Fullscreen countdown only — a bonus overlay source.

Most shows need Control + Stage only. Broadcast is an extra read-only page with a huge timer and almost nothing else. Create it on Stage & Broadcast if your plan allows it.

When to use it

Use Broadcast only if you need a dumb, stable fullscreen timer (for example an overlay tool).

  • You already have Control running the show.
  • You want numbers without segment titles or cue messages.
  • If you do not need that, skip this page entirely.

What Broadcast shows

On a valid link:

  • Black background, large remaining time.
  • Color shifts with warning / danger / overtime.
  • No buttons. No message. No segment list.
  • If revoked or invalid — empty/black screen.

Buttons live on the Links page (not on Broadcast)

On Stage & Broadcast you may see:

  • Generate Broadcast link — create and copy once.
  • Regenerate Broadcast link — new URL; old one dies.
  • Revoke Broadcast — shut it off after the show.
  • View pricing — if Broadcast is locked on your plan.
