Key takeaways
- Share the AUDIENCE LINK, not the editing screen
- Use an external tool if you need to turn the copied URL into a QR code
- Live schedule updates require an internet connection
Attendees usually need three facts: who is playing now, who is next, and when a specific artist starts. A timetable image works for promotion, but it stays frozen when the show changes. A read-only URL gives people a place to check the latest running order.
What the AUDIENCE LINK does
The AUDIENCE LINK opens a read-only GIG DECK timetable. It does not grant edit permission, so attendees cannot change the event.
While online, edits made by the organizer appear on connected viewing screens.
1. Copy and test the viewing URL
Use the AUDIENCE LINK copy action in the event editor. Open the copied URL in another browser or a private window and verify:
- Event name and date
- Artist names and times
- Current and next artist
- No editing controls are present
This check catches the wrong event link before it reaches your audience.
2. Share it through social and messaging
Use the image and live URL for different jobs:
- Timetable image: communicates the overall lineup and visual identity
- AUDIENCE LINK: shows the current running order and later changes
Pin the URL on X, place it in an Instagram profile or link sticker, and keep it in the crew’s usual messaging channel so it remains easy to find.
3. Create a QR code for the venue
GIG DECK does not currently generate or download QR codes. If you need one for venue signage, paste the copied AUDIENCE LINK into a trusted QR-code tool you already use.
Scan the finished code from a different device and confirm that it opens the correct URL. If you use a short link or redirect, verify that it will remain active through the event.
Where to place the code
- Entrance: staff can point it out at check-in
- Bar: guests can scan while waiting
- Beside a printed timetable: static lineup and live updates stay together
- Stream description or broadcast layout: remote viewers can follow the same schedule
Leave enough white space around the code and do not print it so small that phones struggle in low light.
Communicate show-day changes
Both the editing and viewing devices need an internet connection for changes to appear. For a major swap or cancellation, combine the live link with a venue announcement or social update.
Describe the AUDIENCE LINK as the place to check the latest time, while keeping images as promotional or saved references.
