Training demonstrates speakers tab and timed public-comment controls

Aug 4, 2026

The trainer showed clerks how to call speakers on an item, set a timer (e.g., three minutes), and display speaker names and countdowns. Clerks were shown how to start/stop the timer and how multiple request-to-speak entries appear in the live manager.

The full story

Trainer walked participants through the speakers workflow for an active agenda item: opening the item, viewing requested speakers, editing time with the pencil icon, and pressing 'call' to start a timed appearance. He said moderators can "change it from untimed to 3 minutes" and hit start so the public display shows the speaker name and countdown.
