  8. Set Image: choose to either leave the default image or upload your own. Size: 930x1040px, assuming your screen is 1080p

  9. Set Logo: Upload your preferred logo. Size: 200px by 80px and any image of different proportions will be constrained within that. We recommend using a transparent PNG.

  10. Under Guidance text, choose to either leave the default information (i.e. screen sharing instructions) or customize the text based on your preference. To customize the text check this article.

  11. Under Time settings, choose the relevant time zone in order for the clock to be displayed in the top middle of the Airtame-equipped screen 

  12. Save and Apply changes.

     

Note: Keep in mind when customizing text that H1 is 2px bigger than the remaining header styles and H2-H6 are all the same size at 28px. The user enabling Office 365 requires an Exchange Online Kiosk license.
