Office and lobby screens

Office and lobby screens

A lobby screen has two jobs: answer the question a visitor is about to ask at the desk, and tell the people who work there something they need to know.

An office reception with a wall screen welcoming a visitor by name

The reception rotation that actually gets used

A welcome, a directory, the Wi-Fi details and a clock will carry a reception screen on their own, and every one of them removes a question from the front desk. Add a named welcome before a client visit — it costs fifteen seconds and it is the cheapest good impression available to a lobby.

Back of house, the mix is different: a KPI board, a spotlight, an all-hands reminder. Keep the two rotations separate rather than showing staff content to visitors and vice versa.

Meeting rooms without a calendar integration

The room templates set their status from fields rather than reading a calendar. That is a real limitation and it is worth being clear about: someone or something has to set it. In exchange it goes up in an afternoon, and it does not break at 9am on a Monday because a token expired. For a floor where people are hunting a free room, showing the rest of the day is what actually helps.

Getting a screen up

Most office displays are already a smart TV or a spare monitor with a stick behind it, and both work — the screen opens a URL and pairs with a eight-digit code. On a shared panel, turn off the sleep timer and the idle power-off first; on an OLED, use the panel's own pixel-shift setting, because a lobby screen shows a lot of static layout.

What three free screens covers

The free plan runs 3 screens with no time limit and no card. For a lot of the sites on this page that is the whole installation. Past that, $29 a month covers 25 screens — flat, not per screen — so the fourth display costs the same as the twenty-fifth. Full detail on the pricing page.

One honest limitation

If your rooms are booked in a shared calendar and you want the sign to follow it automatically, this is not that product yet — the room status is set, not synced. Anything that needs to be right without anyone touching it should be on a template that fetches its own data, like the weather and clock boards.
