How Welcome Screens Work

1 min read

Welcome Screens temporarily override the normal slideshow playback to display personalized guest messaging before regular TV content begins.

This allows properties to create a more personal arrival experience without permanently modifying the main slideshow.

Basic Welcome Screen Workflow #

  1. Configure a Welcome Screen on a player
  2. Enter guest information
  3. Set active dates and duration
  4. Save the changes
  5. The player automatically displays the Welcome Screen

The process is handled automatically by the player once the configuration is active.

Temporary Override Behavior #

While active, the Welcome Screen temporarily appears before the standard slideshow playback.

This allows:

  • Personalized guest greetings
  • VIP messaging
  • Special event welcomes
  • Temporary room-specific content

The underlying slideshow itself remains unchanged.

Automatic Return to Normal Playback #

Once the configured duration or expiration time has passed:

  • The Welcome Screen automatically disappears
  • The player resumes normal slideshow playback
  • No manual reset is normally required

This ensures the system returns to standard content automatically after the guest-specific message is no longer needed.

Good to know:
Welcome Screens are designed to be temporary and automated, making them practical for hospitality staff without requiring constant manual management.

Typical Hospitality Use Cases #

VIP Arrivals #

Personalized premium greetings for important guests.

Honeymoon Packages #

Romantic welcome messaging for couples.

Event Guests #

Conference or retreat welcome information.

Birthday Messages #

Personalized celebration screens shown directly on the TV.

Tip:
Personalized TV greetings tend to feel surprisingly luxurious to guests.
Humans remain remarkably easy to impress when technology politely says their name.
