Technical Requirements & Recommendations

Technical Requirements & Recommendations

Required Software

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8

Prerequisites

Download .Net Framework 4.8 and install it on all target PCs before installing the Vibe.fyi Vibe Desktop Player app

Compatibility Notes

TLS 1.2 for Older Windows Versions
For systems running Windows 8.0 or earlier (e.g., Windows 7), TLS 1.2 is not enabled by default. To ensure secure communication, follow this article to manually enable TLS 1.2 on these systems.
Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and later natively support TLS 1.2 and do not require any additional configuration.

Deploy via Group Policy

You can use Group policy to mass deploy .Net Framework 4.8 exe package to all the Pc's. 
Info
To confirm that you have .Net 4.8 go to this registry key after install and check the version value
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Considerations for Desktop player app

  1. Screensaver & Lock Screen Settings: If you're running the Screensaver and Lock Screen channels, you cannot set the Lock Screen to Slideshow mode as this is not supported in Windows. Doing so will disable the Screensaver and prevent it from functioning as intended.
  2. Screensaver -  Device Power Settings Recommendations
    1. Adjust the device's power settings to keep the Vibe.fyi Screensaver visible for extended periods when the PC is idle.
    2. Set the "Turn off the display" option to 30 or 60 minutes. This balances communication reach with energy efficiency.

  3. Group Policy Deployment (Recommended for IT Admins): 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.
