Date/Time

Expected Behaviour for Date Time Overlay

Vibe shows the Date Time Overlay based on the time zone of each device. When you’re previewing slides (including using the 'Preview As' dropdown), you’ll see the date/time in your own local time zone — it won’t switch to another screen’s time zone. As long as each screen’s time zone is set correctly in its system settings, everything will show up at the right time, wherever it is in the world.

Design

  1. Event Time - Use the toggle to show or hide the event's time
  2. Date Time Widget - Use the toggle to show or hide the Date & Time widget
  3. Weekend - Use the toggle to show or hide the weekend (Saturday & Sunday)

Use-Case Scenario

Aligning a Week‑Long Campaign Kickoff

A consumer brand runs a week-long product launch across offices, retail floors, and team rooms. The marketing team needs every location to stay in sync as sessions, demos, and livestreams roll out. With limited time slots and cross-functional involvement, a single, shared view is essential.

Using Date List 7 Days, they publish a concise, day-by-day schedule to all screens. Each entry shows date, time, event title, and a one-sentence descriptor. The list is visually tiered by day, with bold headers for each date (e.g., demos, trainings, live streams).

FAQ

Can we integrate external calendars (iCal, Google Calendar) for live sync?

Yes, you can integrate external calendars for live sync, but with current limitations:

  • Supported: Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (Office 365/Exchange) integrations are available for live sync.
  • Not yet supported: iCal (ICS) feeds from generic calendar providers are not available for live sync at the moment.
How do I handle recurring events?
Select the Recurring Dates feature for these events.
  • Choose a recurrence pattern: Set Recurring Setting to Weekly (or another pattern as needed) and select the days the event should appear (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat).
  • Define the time span: For multi-day events, specify a start date/time and an end date/time within the same Recurring Date Range configuration.

Can I add location to an event?
You can include the location only in the Title or the text. If you need a location-based slide, we recommend the Room Bookings slide template.
