Slideshows can optionally use background music during playback.
Background music helps create atmosphere and can improve the visual experience in public hospitality spaces such as reception areas, lounges and promotional displays.
Using Background Music #
Inside the slideshow editor you can:
- Select a music track
- Preview the track
- Save audio settings
Once saved, the selected music can play during slideshow playback on assigned TVs.
Common Use Cases #
Reception TVs #
Calm background music can improve the atmosphere of reception and waiting areas.
Lounge Displays #
Ambient music may help create a more relaxed guest experience.
Promotional Screens #
Music can help support promotional videos and branded visual content.
Audio Recommendations #
Audio should generally support the environment rather than dominate it.
Recommended:
- Balanced volume levels
- Relaxed or neutral music
- Consistent atmosphere
- Testing playback before publishing
Background music often works best in shared public spaces rather than private guest rooms.
Guest Room Considerations #
Guest room TVs may require more conservative audio usage.
Excessive or unexpected audio may:
- Disturb guests
- Create inconsistent experiences
- Feel intrusive during TV startup
In-room playback is usually most effective when kept calm and minimal.
If the lobby soundtrack sounds like a nightclub DJ accidentally discovered espresso, the volume is probably too high.
