# Cues for one presenter

Flash "You're on next", "Please wrap up" or your own words on one presenter's screen.

A **cue** is a big message on **one** presenter's screen, under the banner. Only that presenter sees it.

## Send a cue

In the **Presenters** list, next to the presenter, pick a cue and press **Send**:

- Stand by
- You're on next
- You're live
- Please wrap up
- Time's up
- Thank you, all done
- Custom message (type your own in the box that appears)

It's on their screen within a few seconds. A presenter with a cue showing is highlighted in the list.

## Clear cues

- **Clear** next to a presenter takes their cue down.
- **Clear all cues** takes down every presenter's cue at once, for example at the end of a session.

 Tip

Cues work alongside the [banner](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/banners) and [countdown](https://presenteringest.com/help/live-control/countdowns): a presenter can see "Comfort break" and a countdown for everyone, plus "You're on next" just for them.
