Event Timeline - Break State (Turnkey)

Updated

Your BREAK event state is the page that the audience will see during longer breaks in the schedule (such as a long lunch or dinner break or overnight if it is an event spanning over a few days). You will need to determine if there is a Livestream going during that time with a video loop or a break slide and/or countdown to next event. There are several possible options depending on your event goals. 

To begin designing your Break State, click on Features to open the Event Timeline Features section 

Next, select Break to begin configuring your event state
