Broadcast Messages

Round message — sent to all breakout rooms at the start of each round. Use {i} for the round number:

Default: "{i}. person can start now ∞ {i}. Person kann jetzt beginnen"

Fadeout message — sent when the fadeout phase begins:

Default: "Fadeout ∞ Ausklingen"

Sound Settings

Enable Computer audio sharing to broadcast bell sounds to all participants, including those in breakout rooms.

Language Tags

Manage which language prefixes Triad Tool recognizes for automatic grouping.

Default Languages

Adding a Language

1. Click Add Language
2. Set the language name (e.g., “French”)
3. Set the code (e.g., “FR”)
4. Add matching tags — these are the prefixes the app looks for in participant names
5. Set priority level (if a participant matches multiple languages, the higher priority wins)
6. Toggle Enable to activate

Tag Matching

Tags are matched case-insensitively at the beginning of a participant’s display name, as a distinct token. For example, the tag EN matches:

• EN John ✓
• EN-John ✓
• ENGINEER ✗ (not a separate token)

Priority Levels

When a participant’s name matches multiple language tags, the highest-priority language wins.

Special Tags

Define groups of participants who should be excluded from the main breakout assignment and placed in special rooms.

Built-in Special Tags

Adding a Custom Special Tag

1. Click Add Special Tag
2. Set the group name
3. Add tags to match against participant names
4. The matched participants will be placed in a dedicated room with this name

No Tag Handling

Controls what happens to participants whose names don’t match any language tag:

Pair Prohibitions

Define participant pairs who must not be placed in the same breakout room.

1. Click Add Prohibition
2. Enter the two participant names
3. During assignment, Triad Tool ensures they are never in the same room

Useful for recurring sessions where you want to guarantee varied groupings.
