      How it works

      1. Connect a laptop to a projector or a big TV, with the screen set to extend (not mirror).
      2. Open stagebeam.live and click Open projector. Drag that window onto the projector and click it to go fullscreen. It becomes the light.
      3. The laptop keeps the controls: place spots and washes, pick colours, add animated effects like ghosts, fog or confetti, and save them as scenes.
      4. During the show, press Space for the next scene. Lights fade smoothly from one to the next.
