Announcement Queue Setup

Selecting a Controller

If your arena has multiple speakers or zones, you can select a specific controller before proceeding. This allows you to play announcements only on the chosen controller, ensuring each area receives the correct messages without overlap.

Once your environment is set up and the appropriate controller is selected, go to the Announcement Queue menu under the Automatic Announcements navigation in the left sidebar.

You will land on the Automatic Announcement Queue page, where all the announcements will be queued and managed.
