Screensaver function

The screensaver keeps the start screen fresh and prevents burn‑in when guests are idle. Configure it in the Admin Panel under General → Screensaver.

What it can show

  • Image: Display a single image. Use Screensaver image path.
  • Video: Loop a single video. Use Screensaver video path.
  • Folder: Cycle through files in private/screensavers/. Supported: .jpg, .png, .gif, .mp4, .webm.
  • Gallery: Cycle through gallery photos guests already took; falls back to the image path if the gallery is empty.

Text overlay and styling

  • Optional Screensaver text shows on top of the media.
  • Choose Text position (top, bottom, center) to avoid covering key visuals.
  • Adjust Text backdrop color and Backdrop opacity (0 = fully transparent, 1 = solid) if the text needs contrast; set opacity to 0 to turn the backdrop off.
  • Use Text color and Custom font file for branding; upload fonts into private/fonts/ and select them from the picker.
  • In Gallery mode the overlay alternates between your text and event text to avoid screen burn.

Timing

  • Timeout before screensaver: minutes of no interaction before it starts. Set to 0 to keep the screensaver off even if enabled.
  • Slide change interval: minutes between media switches in Folder or Gallery mode (minimum 1). Has no effect for single image/video modes.
  • Any click or touch hides the screensaver and resets the timer.
