Using Airtame Cloud, you can customize the appearance, like the layout of the panel, the panel text, and various toggles. The panel text is typically used to show the required steps for users to start screen sharing to the screen. You can change the appearance of the screen to match your organizational needs.
Airtame screens are customizable with a digital signage background, four guide layouts, custom guide text, and various toggles.
Here are a few examples of how different the appearance can be.
