Every room has a timezone set in Room Settings (defaults to your location when created). This can be overridden per-output via Link Options, or per-element in the output customizer for Premium users.

Agenda Items

All timers from your rundown are displayed as agenda items. The currently active timer is highlighted, making it easy to track event progress at a glance. As you advance through timers on the Controller, the agenda updates automatically.
