How do I announce something to everyone at once?
Three tools:
- A global text message is written once and appears to everyone, on one map or on all of them. Use it for anything people may need to read again: a room change, a link, the next session.
- A global audio message is a recording played to everyone. Use it when you want attention rather than a note.
- The megaphone (aka. the podium) is live: you talk and everyone hears you, wherever they are. Use it to open the event, call people into a room or close a session.
Send them from the menu, and pick a map or the whole world as the audience.
Keep in mind that a global message interrupts every conversation happening at that moment. If it concerns one meeting room, walk in and say it there. If it needs to stay readable, put it on a sign at the entrance instead.
