Frequently asked questions

Does CueFlow TV work only with PS5/Xbox, or any HDMI device?

CueFlow TV works regardless of what HDMI device is connected (PS/Xbox are examples). The overlay is rendered on the TV and updates when the session timer starts, warns near the end, and then shows the session-ended overlay.

What exactly shows on the TV during a session?

CueFlow TV displays a small countdown warning overlay (top-left) while the session is running, and when time ends it switches to a session-ended overlay and stops the session.

Can I set a reminder like “60 minutes” before stopping?

Yes. In CueFlow you set the session duration (example: 60 minutes) and reminders. CueFlow TV then drives the on-screen countdown and session-end overlay based on that session timer.

Do I need technical knowledge to set up CueFlow TV?

No. Your CueFlow onboarding includes steps to install CueFlow TV on the TV, connect it, and test timers. Most venues are ready quickly, and you can message support on WhatsApp if anything needs adjustment.
