Choose Simple or Advanced Mode

Understand when to run everything on one computer and when to manage multiple recorders and displays from a central dashboard.

Start with Simple Mode

Simple Mode is the default setup for beginners and small events. One computer controls the microphone, live transcription, optional stage display, and audience QR code.

Use it when the recording computer is in the same room as the speaker and you do not need remote recorders.

Use Advanced Mode for larger setups

Advanced Mode is designed for events with multiple rooms, remote recording computers, or several displays that need to be managed centrally.

The central computer coordinates recorders, displays, recordings, and language settings while each room can still have its own microphone.

Switch modes when the setup changes

You can switch from Simple Mode to Advanced Mode when your event needs more structure.

If you only need the beginner-friendly setup again, switch back through the organization settings.

Match the mode to the event

For one room, one speaker, and one computer, Simple Mode keeps the workflow fast.

For larger events with several rooms or dedicated display hardware, Advanced Mode gives the operator a central control surface.

Next steps
