Wait together: timers and synchronised starts
A timed pause with a countdown before the discussion, then a page that waits until all persons in the group are ready.

The timer
A Timer segment shows its Display Message and a countdown for its Max Duration. Then it moves all participants on.
Countdown Format is digital (
00:00), a circle or a progress bar.Show participant list keeps the list of persons in the room on the screen, if the chamber also shows one.
With the default Auto transition, participants have no button to click. The timer always ends at the set time.

Starting together
On other pages, people move on one at a time, when each person clicks Continue.
To make a group start the next step together, set the Transition Mode of a page to Sync. Each person clicks Continue and waits. When the last person clicks it, all persons move on together.

What participants see
Both participants see the same countdown. When it ends, both move on.
On Ready?, the first person to click Continue sees "Waiting for other participants…". The other person sees a message that they can move on. When the second person clicks Continue, both arrive in the discussion at the same time.
The timer ends. Ines waits for Theo. The chat opens for both.
