Video slides can optionally use embedded audio during playback.
This allows videos to play with their original sound directly on the TV.
Enabling Video Audio #
Inside the slide editor you can enable or disable video audio playback.
This setting determines whether the video’s original audio track will play when the slide is shown.
Typical use cases include:
- Promotional resort videos
- Restaurant commercials
- Event announcements
- Atmospheric promotional videos
When Audio Works Well #
Audio can help create a more immersive experience in some environments.
Common examples:
- Reception areas
- Lobby displays
- Restaurants
- Lounges and public spaces
In these situations, short promotional audio may improve engagement and atmosphere.
Things to Consider #
Using too many audio-enabled slides may create an inconsistent or distracting guest experience.
Potential issues include:
- Sudden audio interruptions
- Conflicting sound levels
- Overlapping audio styles
- Inconsistent atmosphere
Guest room TVs generally benefit from more conservative audio usage compared to public lobby displays.
Background Music Interaction #
Slideshows may also use separate background music.
Depending on your configuration, background music and video audio may interact with each other during playback.
For the best experience:
- Keep audio levels balanced
- Avoid excessive audio switching
- Preview the slideshow before publishing
- Use audio intentionally rather than constantly
Just because a video has audio does not automatically mean the TV should scream cocktail promo videos at guests at 2 AM.
Hospitality is delicate sometimes.
