# Broadcast Messaging

### Emergency Alerts&#x20;

The Broadcast feature is a rapid communication tool designed to quickly inform all staff of emergencies; when activated, all devices will emit a loud sound. Due to its powerful impact, please use it sparingly and only for critical situations.&#x20;
