Set Up the Display

The live display shows results in real time on a projector, TV, or your audience's smartphones. Access works via a 6-digit PIN, similar to Kahoot.

Find the PIN

Each round automatically has its own PIN. You can find it by:

  1. Opening the live view of your round
  2. The PIN is shown at the top (e.g. AB12CD)
  3. Share this PIN with your audience

Display PIN in the live view

Open the Display

There are two ways to open the display:

Option 1: PIN Entry

  1. Open slam-voting.com/display on the projector laptop or smartphone
  2. Enter the 6-digit PIN
  3. The display connects automatically

PIN entry on the display screen

Option 2: Direct URL

Each round also has a public URL in the format:

slam-voting.com/{team-slug}/{competition-slug}/{round-id}

The round-id is a technical ID (not a readable name). The easiest approach is to copy the full URL directly from the app (top right in the live view) and share it on posters or social media.

What Does the Display Show?

The host controls which screen is currently displayed. Available screens:

  • Title: name of the competition and round
  • Performer: who is currently on stage?
  • Scores: individual scores after a performance
  • Round results: rankings after a round
  • Overall ranking: results across all rounds
  • Winner: reveal with optional confetti animation
  • Break: break screen with optional countdown
  • Participants overview: all performers at a glance

Real-Time Updates

The display updates automatically in real time. As soon as you select a new screen or enter scores as host, the audience sees the change instantly without reloading the page.

Tips for the Projector

  • Open the display in full-screen mode (F11 in the browser)
  • Use dark mode for better readability on projectors
  • Test the connection before the event. A quick trial run saves stress.

Password Protection (Optional)

You can optionally protect a round with a password. In that case, audience members must enter the password before they can see the display. Useful for private events.
