Training
Create an event
From My Events, hit New event and give it a name and a join code participants will use.
Set it up (Preflight)
Open Event Setup — add your tables, set branding, pick a Tater personality, and drop in your run of show, handouts, and knowledge base so Tater speaks your context.
Bring the room in
Share the join code. Participants join by table and turn on the mic; Tater captures the conversation live.
Facilitate with Tater
In the live console, ask Tater for themes, a summary, or the next activity — grounded in what the room is actually saying.
Wrap up
Close with an automatic recap of themes and takeaways you can share with the room.
Ask for the themes
Tater surfaces what tables are converging on so you can steer the discussion.
“What themes are coming up?”Get a live summary
Pull a quick recap mid-session to reset the room or hand off to a co-facilitator.
“Summarize the last 10 minutes.”Design an activity
Give Tater a goal and it proposes an engagement exercise to move the group forward.
“Suggest a 5-minute exercise on trust.”Add toppings
Turn on extras per event — free ones like Raffle and Timers, or premium ones like Speaker separation.
Event Setup → ToppingsTater only hears what your computer's microphone captures. For a roving presenter, the built-in laptop mic isn't enough — here's how to get clean audio in and drive Tater hands-free.
Use a lavalier (lav) mic for the presenter
Clip a lav near the collar, ~6–8 in from the mouth. It moves with you and keeps a steady level as you work the room — far better than a fixed table or laptop mic.
Connect it to the computer running Tater
Pick a wireless lav kit whose receiver plugs into the presenter's computer (USB is simplest). Then choose that mic as the input in the live console's Connection panel. A good starting point: a dual-channel USB wireless lav (e.g. Rode Wireless / DJI Mic-class kits) so you can add a second speaker later.
Venue amplification is separate
The house PA mic makes you loud in the room — it usually doesn't feed your computer. Keep your lav going to Tater in addition to any venue mic. If the venue can give you a line-out/USB feed from their board, that also works as Tater's input.
Go hands-free with a wake phrase
Set a voice wake phrase (default “Hey Tater”) in Event Setup → Tater behavior. Say it while roving to ask Tater a question and get a spoken answer — no need to return to the keyboard.
Test before you start
Connect the mic, watch the level, and do a quick “Hey Tater, can you hear me?” check. Mute participant capture during setup so you're not feeding the room into the transcript early.
Your first event
Set up and run a session end to end.
Prompting Tater live
Ask for themes, summaries, and activities.
Toppings deep dive
When to use each add-on, and what they cost.
