Learn how to set up Questro Timer screens, display links, private controls, speaker cues, schedule import, and event-day rehearsal checks.
Public timer screen vs private control device
If the timer control page appears on the venue screen, the setup is wrong. The audience or speaker should see the countdown only. Keep start, pause, reset, add time, and cue phrase controls on the operator device.
Common questions
How do I use Questro Timer for a live event?
Create or open a Timer project, add the countdowns in show order, open the Display link on the room screen, and run the timer from the private Control page.
Can speakers see the private controls?
No. Speakers should use the display link. Operators should keep the private control link on their own phone or laptop.
Can I run Questro Timer without installing software?
Yes. Timer control and display views run in a modern browser.
Can I import a timer schedule from a document?
Yes, schedule import is available when the project has access to that paid feature. Review the detected timers before applying them.
What should I do before showtime?
Open the display fullscreen, run a short test timer, send a cue phrase, and confirm the speaker can read the countdown from their real position.
