Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our team.

How do hotels use digital signage?

For welcome messages, event and meeting room schedules, wayfinding, restaurant menus and promoting services like the spa or room upgrades.

Can I show meeting room schedules?

Yes. Connect Google Calendar or an iCal calendar (Pro), and the screens update when bookings change.

Can I use the TVs in guest rooms?

Play runs on many smart TVs and media players, including LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, so in-room TVs can show your hotel information.

Can menus change by time of day?

Yes. Schedule breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and they switch on their own.

Can the lobby screen show the local weather?

Yes. Add a weather plugin to a playlist, or split the screen into zones to show the weather next to your own messages. See all plugins for your screens.
