How do I facilitate a Multiplayer Microsimulation?

This is an admin only feature.

What is the Facilitator Console?

The Facilitator Console is where you run a live multiplayer Microsimulation. You control the pace — releasing each inject when the moment's right — and capture what the team does as you go.

Before you start

• You must be added as a facilitator on the deployment (add a co-facilitator as backup for important sessions).
• The session is scheduled from the Deployment Portal; participants join via the calendar invite / MS Teams link.
• The injects and their order come from the Multiplayer Builder — the console plays them in that order.

Running the session

Release injects one at a time — you decide when each appears, so the story unfolds at your pace:

• Media injects (video, image, audio, PDF, document) display to the room.
• Scenario updates (facts, assumptions, issues) post to the information board when you release them.
• Discussion guides post to the task board — the tasks or questions for the group to work through.

Because the boards populate only as you release these injects, the event room fills up as the session unfolds — the scenario develops naturally and feeds the event room the way information would arrive in a real event.

Capturing what happens during the session

Capture what the team did — during the session or afterwards. Today this happens in the Microsimulation report's Activity tab; for each inject you can add:

• a Summary of what happened,
• Insights (categorise, prioritise, assign an owner), and
• Actions (with a due date and an assignee — a person or team).

This is what turns a session into a debrief and a set of follow-ups, and it flows straight into the report (see Understanding Microsimulation insights).
