Messages in:

Instant messages are received immediately by a control laptop, where you can quickly review, edit and prioritise them before they are displayed live to your audience.
Messages out:
You can also use Message Manager to send text messages to audience keypads. Messages can be sent to everyone's keypads, to individual keypads or to a specific group of keypads.
Text messages can also be sent to keypad screens during PowerPoint® presentations to reiterate important facts to your audience.
