ConferenceQ User Manual

Chapter 0

Before you start

ConferenceQ is one continuous flow: the audience joins by QR and asks in their own language, the question is translated and reviewed, and it reaches the presenter’s screen. This chapter lays out that flow and the people in it.

The four roles

The path a question takes

Chapter 1

Signing up and signing in

You sign up as an institution, not as an individual. Whoever signs up becomes its first admin, and adds colleagues from the console afterwards.

Creating your institution

1. Institution name — shown as-is on the audience screen and in the console header.
2. Institution subdomain — the address your attendees and staff arrive at. Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, 3–32 characters. Availability is checked as you type.
3. Default time zone — the default for new events. Each event can override it.
4. Admin account — name, email, password. Each requirement ticks off as you satisfy it.

Signing in

When sign-up completes you land on your institution’s own sign-in page (for example iso.conferenceq.live/admin/login). The certificate is issued automatically on that first visit — there is nothing to register. You can copy the address any time from Organization settings in the console.

Chapter 2

Preparing an event

Create the event, add its sessions, then prepare the QR codes, materials and terminology. This is everything you do before the day itself.

Create the event

The join code is what your audience types at /join. An event code sends them to whichever session is running at that moment, so one printed code covers an event with many sessions.

Sessions and their status

Generating and handing out QR codes

Uploading presentation materials

Glossary — pinning your terminology

Priority runs Session > Event > Organization. When the same source term exists in several scopes, the narrowest one wins. A new term applies from the next translation onward — questions already translated are left as they are.

Chapter 3

What the audience sees

The audience installs nothing and signs in to nothing. Scanning a QR or typing a code is the whole of it — but one of the two is required. The code is the key to the room.

Taking part in a poll

The clock at the top right is the time left. It turns red at ten seconds and the server closes the poll at zero. The server decides, not the clock on your screen — a tap at the very last moment may not be counted.

The globe button at the top right switches between Korean and English. What changes is the interface wording; question text always shows the original and its translation together.

Chapter 4

The moderator’s working screen

During the event a moderator watches this one screen. Incoming questions on the left, the running order for the presenter on the right.

1. Approve — the question appears in the audience list and in the Presenter Queue.
2. Hide — it drops off the audience screen. This conceals rather than deletes; the record stays.
3. Edit translation — fix an awkward rendering. Your edit is stored separately; the machine translation is kept.
4. Re-check duplicates — rescan just that question for near-matches.

Merging duplicate questions

On a narrow screen such as a tablet the right-hand panel is tucked away. The “Queue · Polls” button at the bottom right slides the Presenter Queue and polls out as a drawer.

Running a live poll

1. New poll — one question and 2–8 options. Pick a time limit from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, or leave it to close by hand.
2. Create and start — it appears on the audience, presenter and projector screens at that moment. Save only keeps it as a draft to start later.
3. Close — you can close it early by hand. When the time runs out the server closes it for you.
4. Reopen — open a closed poll again with a fresh time limit. Votes already cast are kept.

Running the Presenter Queue

The right-hand panel is the order the presenter will see: answering → queued → most voted. “Show on screen” makes a question the current one on the presenter’s screen; “Mark answered” takes it out of the queue.

Chapter 5

The presenter’s screens

The presenter has two screens: one they operate on stage, and one you put on the projector.

Presenter View — operated on stage

Stage Display — for the projector or LED wall

While a poll is open, the presenter screen shows the results above the question (the presenter can hide them), and the projector shows the results in place of the question. The projector’s join card now carries a QR code, so latecomers can join from the screen alone.

Chapter 6

During and after the event

Keep the dashboard up while the event runs; afterwards, build your report from the analytics and the log.

Dashboard — what you watch during the event

Alerts watches for translation failures and a growing review backlog. Past 20 questions awaiting review it warns you — that is the moment to put a second moderator on it.
