# What is “Venue screen”?

A venue screen is a browser view designed for projectors and LED walls that displays live polls, word clouds, leaderboards, social walls or countdowns from an occasion's data.

Also called: big screen display, LED wall view

## Venue screen in detail

An event has two audiences in the room at once: people looking at phones and people looking at the stage. The venue screen serves the second. It is a full-screen browser page that the production team casts to a projector or LED wall, showing whatever the moment needs: the live bars of a poll, a word cloud forming from audience answers, the unified leaderboard, a social wall of approved posts, or a countdown to the next segment. Because it reads from the same engine as the app, nothing is retyped; the numbers on the screen are the numbers in the database. Manager-side trigger controls let an emcee start a poll from a phone while the screen reacts. Screens can be opened on any laptop with a browser, which makes rehearsal easy and keeps dependence on specialist hardware low. Production teams should still rehearse stage moments with a fallback.

## How Sociana uses it

Venue screens are a distinct surface listed on feature pages such as live polls, word clouds, social wall and leaderboards. They read live results from the same engine as the attendee app.

## Example

At a partners meet, plenary poll results and the leaderboard were shown on the big screen while partners voted by QR.

Is the screen data live?

Yes, it reads from the same engine as the app, so poll counts, scores and approved posts update as participants act. Because it reads from the same engine as the app, nothing is retyped; the numbers on the screen are the numbers in the database.
