# On the day: live control

Run every presenter from one page: who's connected, banners, countdowns and cues.

- [**The live control dashboard**](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/live-control-dashboard) See who's connected and what presenters see, and message them from one page.
- [**Studio banners**](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/banners) Put a message at the top of every presenter's screen: stand by, comfort break, back at 14:30.
- [**Countdowns**](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/countdowns) Set a countdown, check it, then start it on every presenter's screen. Pause it, add time or count up the overtime.
- [**Cues for one presenter**](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/cues) Flash "You're on next", "Please wrap up" or your own words on one presenter's screen.
