The On Air element shows a glowing dot when a timer is running. Presenters and crew can see at a glance whether timing is active.

How It Works

The indicator lights up when a timer runs and dims when it stops. Works automatically, no manual control needed. Useful for speaker monitoring or a quick indicator to production.

Visual states:

  • Active (On Air): Bright, glowing indicator - timer is running
  • Inactive: Dimmed or off - timer is stopped or paused
