#### 4. Display Messages

The Display Messages features allow sending real-time information for different types of views.

A typical use case would be sending a message to the speaker screen onstage with instructions on time or the presentation.

As of now, there are three separate messages possible

* [Stage Timer / Presenter Screen](https://ontime.gitbook.io/v2/views/stage-timer)
* [Public Screen](https://ontime.gitbook.io/v2/views/public-info)
* [Lower Third](https://ontime.gitbook.io/v2/views/lower-thirds)

{% hint style="info" %}
Using the visibility button to toggle on / off the message. You are able to type while the message is visible.
{% endhint %}
