Solutions · Lobbies & waiting rooms

A welcome screen that can do more than say welcome.

Blend hours, announcements, weather, photos, ambient artwork, visitor information and timed messaging into a calm screen that staff can update from somewhere other than the wall.

Calm information hierarchy

Welcome, context, and announcements without desktop-sized clutter.

This lobby layout reserves deliberate regions for a welcome, visitor information, current context, and supporting updates while keeping the screen readable across the room.
  • Welcome and after-hours scenes
  • Clock, weather, and announcement regions
  • Remote updates without touching the display

Useful lobby screen patterns

01

Welcome + hours

Give visitors the immediate basics with strong hierarchy instead of filling the television with tiny dashboard text.

02

Waiting-room information

Rotate policies, helpful instructions, service information or queue-adjacent messaging with a calmer visual treatment.

03

Weather + time

Add supported clock and weather widgets where live context improves the screen instead of becoming the entire design.

04

Photo / art rotation

Use your own photography, a slideshow, or generated artwork to keep a reception screen visually useful between announcements.

05

Event welcomes

Swap in a visitor, meeting, sponsor or event-specific welcome without changing the permanent player setup.

06

Remote announcements

Publish an updated message from the dashboard and keep the physical TV exactly where it is.

Questions, answered

01Can the same lobby TV show welcome information and ambient art?+

Yes. Use scenes, media and supported widgets to rotate between welcome content, information, photos, art or announcements.

02Can staff change a message without touching the TV?+

Yes. Update and publish the board remotely from Canvas Relay while the TV stays mounted and assigned to the same screen.

03Can the display keep running during an internet outage?+

Player-class devices cache complete releases for offline continuity. Live external data naturally depends on the source/network, but the board itself does not need to disappear.

Make the lobby screen feel intentional.

Start with a welcome, photo or information layout in the editor and publish when it is ready for the wall.
