    3. Take note of the unique auth code(s) and your site URL. You'll need this information during the installation

Step 2: Content & Playlist Setup

Screensaver & Web Browser

  1. Create your slides (content) using the dynamic Vibe.fyi templates
  2. Create your playlists, assign one or more locations and add your dynamic slides
  3. Video slides added to the Screensaver channel will automatically play in mute mode.

Lock Screen & Background Wallpaper 

  1. Create static image slides using the Image (Single) template OR use the snapshot tool to create static versions of your dynamic content.

  2. Create your playlists, assign one or more locations and add your static image slides
  3. If multiple image slides are added to a Lock Screen playlist, the image will refresh every 2 minutes and the display will refresh each time the device is unlocked and relocked.

Step 3: Desktop Player Installation

  1. Follow the steps in this guide to install the Desktop Player App on a single PC or deploy via a group policy.

    Considerations

    Screensaver: Device Power Settings

    1. Adjust the device's power settings to keep the Vibe.fyi Screensaver visible for extended periods when the PC is idle.
    2. TIP: Set the "Turn off the display" option to 30 or 60 minutes. This balances communication reach with energy efficiency.

    Group Policy Deployment

    1. Configure a Group Policy to restrict user access to Screensaver, Lock Screen, and Background settings during deployment. This prevents users from altering these settings, ensuring uniformity and compliance with deployment standards.
