Your facilitation script.
Right where you need it.

The Workshopr.io Sidekick puts your workshop agenda, facilitator scripts, timers, and intervention cards in a Chrome side panel — so you can facilitate without switching tabs.

Add to Chrome — Free

Works with Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, or any browser-based meeting.

Tab-switching kills facilitation flow

You built a great workshop agenda. You rehearsed the timing. Then the session starts and you're fumbling between your agenda doc, the video call, the shared whiteboard, and your facilitator notes. Every tab switch breaks your eye contact. Every “hold on, let me find that” erodes the room's trust.

How it works

Three steps to smoother sessions

1

Plan your workshop

Build your agenda in the Workshopr Planner. Add exercises, set durations, write your facilitator script for each activity.

2

Open the panel

Click the Workshopr icon in Chrome. Your saved workshop loads into a sleek side panel that sits alongside any tab.

3

Facilitate with confidence

Follow your script, track time, and pull up intervention cards — all without ever leaving your video call.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

timer

Dual-Layer Timer

Never lose track of time again. A session-wide countdown runs alongside per-activity timers, so you always know where you stand — and what's coming next.

Facilitator Scripts

Know exactly what to say and do. Each activity carries a detailed script — talking points, instructions, debrief questions — visible only to you.

emergency

Intervention Cards

Handle the hard moments. When energy drops or conflict rises, pull up a situation-specific card with proven facilitation moves.

One-Click Navigation

Move through your agenda without friction. Tap to advance, jump to any section, or go back — the panel follows your flow.

Your Workshops, Instantly

Load any saved workshop in two taps. Your Workshopr library syncs to the extension — yesterday's prep is today's session.

Why a side panel?

A side panel, not another tab

Chrome side panels stay pinned beside your active tab. Your facilitation tools live right next to your video call — no switching, no alt-tabbing, no losing your place.
