    Timers on your Confidence or Notes monitor can count up to show a speaker how long they’ve been speaking or count down from a pre-determined time limit.

    Confidence Monitor Outputs display a high contrast, text-only view of the slide content and Notes Outputs can show custom information related to the currently-presented slide.

    To set up a Notes/Confidence Monitor, open the Display Settings in Proclaim and:

    1. Connect the displays to your computer running Proclaim.
    2. Set up your desired Virtual Screen(s) (e.g., Confidence and/or Notes).
    3. Assign Virtual Screens to your outputs.

    Note: Get more detailed help configuring your display outputs. Once your outputs are working, return to this article to learn how to add a counters to your Confidence and/or Notes Monitors.
