Step-by-step instructions
Enter each presenter once
List the people or groups that need a slot. Keep a presenting team on one line when it shares one slot.
Choose order only or timed slots
Enable time slots if you need scheduled starts. Set the start time and one duration that includes speaking and transitions.
Generate and publish the schedule
Select Set speaking order. Check the complete schedule and save it before sending it to presenters.
Worked example
Eight attendees each receive a place in a short update round. The example uses order-only output.
One valid result is shown below. Your generated outcome will vary.
Example input
Alex Jamie Morgan Taylor Sam Jordan Casey Riley
Example result
1. Jordan 2. Sam 3. Jamie 4. Casey 5. Alex 6. Morgan 7. Taylor 8. Riley
The result determines who speaks when, not how long they should speak or whether the agenda is complete.
Use a defined speaking round rather than a whole meeting shuffle
Some agenda items have dependencies or fixed presenters. Keep those outside a general participant draw. For a round of equal updates, announce the expected length and how follow-up questions will work. Save the order and use it consistently instead of redrawing when a particular person becomes inconvenient.
Settings and limits to check
The example has 8 retained entries. The tool shuffles presenters once and can assign equally spaced starts. It supports one shared duration from 1 to 240 minutes per person, not custom durations or inserted breaks. Times use a 24-hour clock; a schedule crossing midnight marks the later day. Time-slot values must still be valid when using order-only output.
Settings used in this example
Start time: 09:00 Minutes per slot: 10 Include time slots: Off Remove duplicate entries: On
Keep a usable copy of the result
Use Copy to place the current result in your own notes, or Download to keep a text file. Keep the eligible input list with the result when you need to explain which entries took part. A new generation replaces the displayed result rather than adding to a saved history.
The tool runs in your browser and does not upload your input. Save the result before refreshing or leaving the page. If other people need to use the same outcome, share your saved copy rather than asking them to generate another independent result.
Frequently asked questions
Can the tool assign different agenda topics to speakers?
It orders the labels you enter. Topic ownership and agenda dependencies must be arranged separately.
Can each presenter have a different duration?
No. One duration applies to every slot. Adjust a copied schedule manually if the session needs unequal slots or breaks.
Can I get an order without times?
Yes. Turn off Include presentation time slots and generate the speaking order.
What should I check in the worked example?
The result determines who speaks when, not how long they should speak or whether the agenda is complete.
