A Welcome Screen is a temporary personalized screen displayed before the normal slideshow begins.
Welcome Screens are designed specifically for hospitality environments and help create a more personal and memorable guest experience.
How Welcome Screens Work #
When enabled on a player:
- The Welcome Screen appears first
- Personalized guest information is displayed temporarily
- The player automatically transitions to the normal slideshow afterward
The process happens automatically without requiring staff interaction at the TV itself.
Common Welcome Screen Use Cases #
Guest Welcome Messages #
Personalized greetings for arriving guests.
Honeymoon Greetings #
Romantic arrival messaging for honeymoon guests.
VIP Arrivals #
Premium welcome experiences for special guests.
Birthday Messages #
Personalized celebration greetings shown directly on the TV.
Event Participants #
Welcome messages for conferences, retreats or group events.
Villa Greetings #
Customized greetings for luxury villas or premium accommodations.
Automatic Transition to Normal Playback #
After the configured Welcome Screen duration ends:
- The Welcome Screen disappears automatically
- The player continues with the assigned slideshow
- Normal playback resumes without interruption
This allows temporary personalized messaging without permanently changing the main slideshow content.
Welcome Screens are temporary overlays for special guest experiences, not separate permanent slideshows.
Why Welcome Screens Matter #
Personalized welcome messaging can help create:
- A stronger first impression
- A more premium hospitality experience
- Higher guest engagement
- Memorable arrival moments
Even relatively simple personalization can significantly improve perceived hospitality quality.
Guests tend to remember personalized greetings surprisingly well.
Humans are emotionally vulnerable to seeing their own name on a television apparently.
