Displays, HUD & TVExplanation
The audience HUD, explained
The big-screen view your players watch — clock, blinds, prize pool, and seating for the whole room.
The HUD (heads-up display) is the audience-facing screen for your tournament — the big view players glance at from their seats. While you run the event from your phone or laptop, the HUD shows everyone the same source of truth on a TV, monitor, or tablet.
What it shows
- •The clock — current level, blinds, ante, and time remaining, with the next level on deck.
- •Prize pool and payouts — the live pot and who gets paid.
- •Player counts — entries, players remaining, average stack.
- •Seating — the full room or a single table, so players know where to sit after a move.
Where it runs
The same HUD renders on several surfaces: a Fire TV or Android TV app on the room’s television, the desktop app on any screen plugged into your computer, a browser on any other screen, or a tablet propped on the table. You can run more than one at once — see Manage multiple displays.
