Keeps going if the Wi-Fi drops
Scans wait on the stage laptop and send the moment the connection is back. Nothing is announced twice.
Every name, said right.
Scan a printed card as each graduate reaches the stage. GradCall announces their name in the hall and shows it on your livestream, right as they cross.
Free to set up and rehearse. Pay per ceremony when you go live.

Questions
What equipment do we need?
A laptop at the stage with a USB barcode scanner that reads Code 128 or QR codes, and the computer running your stream with OBS or any software that takes a browser source. Both need an internet connection.
How do graduates fix how their name is said?
They open their link, listen, and either confirm it, type how it sounds, or record it themselves. Any change comes to your team to approve.
What if a graduate forgets their card?
The stage scanner has a search box. Type part of their name and announce them with one click.
What about ceremonies with more than 1,000 graduates?
Most large convocations already run in several sessions. Set each session up as its own ceremony.
