FAQ
Using RunCue with Google Meet
Does Google Meet have a timer?
Yes. Google documents a Timer that hosts and co-hosts can start and control on the web. Every participant can see it after it starts.
Why use RunCue beside Google Meet?
Use RunCue when the speaker needs a separate countdown and the producer needs separate controls and private cues.
Can other participants control the Google Meet Timer?
Google says the host or co-host manages the Timer when host controls are on. If host controls are off, any participant can manage it.
Does RunCue connect to my Google account?
No. RunCue runs in a separate browser window and does not access your Google account or participant data.
Is there a trial?
Yes. The 15-minute trial includes the live timer, separate role links, cues, Reset, and segment editing before the room locks.
