This information will be read out by DataPoint and then displayed on your screen in real-time. Change the name of the event in your calendar (via your browser) and it gets updated in real-time on your connected screens. Perfect integration between a Microsoft PowerPoint slide show (the presentation tool for information screens) and Google Calendar.
