Projecting SMS feedback or questions onto a large screen (Great for conference and seminars!)
We are pleased to announce the availability of our new SMS Projection function.
If you are running a conference or seminar with a significant group of participants in a conference room setting, this feature will allow your participants to SMS in their questions or feedback, and have these messages received projected onto a large projector screen in a large-screen optimized and easy-to-ready format.
Handy features you will find useful include:
- Manual vetting of each received message before allowing it to appear on the projection screen
- Real-time update of new messages on the projection screen without having to refresh the projection page
- Export of all received messages for archiving or further action
Here’s what you need to get started:
1) Pre-Requisites:
- A standard projector (of course!)
- A notebook or PC with internet connectivity for projecting onto the large screen
- A second notebook or PC for the person who will be vetting the incoming messages
2) Instructions
i) First, logon to your web account and create a SMS Receive Campaign. Full details on how this is done can be found here
ii) Once the message start coming in, go to your Receive Campaign report. Under Messages Received, click on “View Log”. Do this for both notebooks or PCs.
iii) After clicking “View Logs”, you will see the page containing the details of the messages that have come in. For the notebook or PC that will be doing the message vetting, click on the “Star” icon next to each received message to approve it for projection on the screen.
For the notebook or PC that is connected to the projector, click on the “Projection View” link in the blue menu box, and leave the screen there.
iv) As each message is approved, you will see it appear on the projection screen as shown here!
