How It Works

The Timer Display: The Orchestrator has a dedicated display area that shows:

• Visible Countdown Timer (If enabled)
• Visible Prompt / Text (If enabled)
• The name of the time structure
• Current elapsed time
• Announcement: If the block field "Announcement" has text, your device will speak it.
• Full Screen: Clicking "⛶ FULL SCREEN" expands the timer for projection.

Dynamic Timer Control:

• You can adjust the timer while running; changes occur at elapsed time.
• To edit the current block, make changes and click "Jump Here" to restart the block.

System User Guide

• The App keeps screens awake and stores saved structures only if installed.
• iOS: Share Icon > Add to Home Screen.
• Android: Menu > Install App.
• Mac/PC: Chrome/Edge > Install App from menu.
• Note: Browsers can keep screens awake if plugged in and the tab remains visible.

• Jump Here: Restarts the timer at this block (useful for false starts).
• At Elapsed Time (HH:MM:SS): The timestamp that starts the block commands. Broken into 3 fields.
• Announcement: Text spoken by the device at the elapsed time.
• Visual Prompt: Text displayed on screen (e.g., "Session Active").
• Visible Countdown: Starts a visual timer (HH:MM:SS).
• Options:
  • Loop: Marks the block that triggers a restart. Enter the "At Elapsed Time" for the restart.
  • Test Audio: Plays a sample of the announcement.
  • Delete: Removes the block permanently.

• Zoom / Teams / Meet: Share the specific window or screen of this device.
• Ensure "Share Audio" is selected in your meeting app.
• Mute your mic to prevent accidental sounds.
• Keep timer visible to ensure functions work.

• Dedicated Devices: Use dedicated tablets/computers to prevent interruptions.
• Backgrounding: Minimizing the app may stop the timer/audio.

Popout Window

Click "Popout" to open a separate window for the timer. You can drag this to a second screen or share specifically that window in Zoom/Teams while keeping controls private.
