Frequently Asked Questions
Do my viewers need an account for the remote presentation timer?
No. Viewers can join instantly via a shared link or QR code without any registration or app downloads. It's designed for friction-less access in fast-paced environments.
How synchronized is the remote countdown timer?
MaiCue uses specialized edge-synchronization and latency compensation to ensure all devices stay aligned within milliseconds, regardless of where they are in the world.
Can I control the countdown timer from my phone?
Yes. MaiCue is fully responsive and works on any device with a modern web browser, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. No app store downloads required.
Is this just another remote presentation timer?
While other great tools exist, we found some free limits can be restrictive. MaiCue offers a less restrictive free plan and a significantly lower price point for advanced production features, making high-standard presentation timing accessible to everyone.
Does this work offline?
MaiCue is a cloud-synchronized application and requires an active internet connection to keep all devices in sync. However, it is built with high resilience; if your connection drops briefly, local buffering ensures the timer stays accurate and reconnects automatically as soon as service is restored. If absolute reliability is required then stay tuned for our planned self-hosted version.
Is there a self-hosted version?
A version is being planned where you can run the service completely across a local network or by deploying your own infrastructure. Get in contact if you're interested!
