Lower Thirds

This is a plugin for pretalx.

This plugin allows you to add configurable lower thirds ("Bauchbinden" in German) to your pretalx instance. Most likely this will be used in (for example) a Browser Source inside OBS Studio.

The colours will be automatically determined from the event and track colours set inside pretalx.

You can also add a configurable third line to the lower thirds, for example to hint your audience to vote for the talks. To make this easier, the plugin will automatically replace some placeholders inside the text, so you can have individual text for all talks.

Inside the orga view, you can also configure the text snippet that's shown if there's no talk running currently.
