- The first computer (or another device) where you are signed in to Myia.Events is connected to a beamer or a large screen. It has the Projection Screen page open in the full screen mode.
- You work with Myia.Events web application on the second computer. Here you manage which messages are displayed on the projection screen.
All buttons and switches that you an use for handling the content on the Projection Screen are displayed in purple color.
