Frequently asked questions
Answers for organizers, AV teams, and participants
What does hackTime replace?
hackTime replaces scattered spreadsheets, manual timers, and disconnected announcement tools with one synchronized hackathon control room.
Can participants join without an account?
Yes. Participants can join a room with a guest name and a six-character code to follow the live countdown immediately.
Is there a stage screen for AV teams?
Yes. The stage view is built for fullscreen display on projector screens and confidence monitors in live venues.
