Since March 2024, customizing your Airtame screen background must be done from Airtame Cloud, following the below instructions. Updating the background from the Airtame desktop app is no longer a supported feature. 

How to change the background to an image, video, website, or other from Airtame Cloud

Prerequisite: the following instructions apply to licensed Airtame screens. 

The same steps can be used for implementing different background apps, like a looped YouTube video or a website.

1. Log into your Airtame Cloud account.

2. Select one or more Airtame devices to change the background for.

3. Click the Edit settings button.

4. Click the Signage menu.

5. Click the Add button under the "Default Playlist" section.
   
   1. Select the type of app to show as the background. For example the Image app.
   2. Fill out the settings for the selected app. The settings will depend on the app.
   3. Click the Save button.
6. Optional: Add more apps to the list, by clicking the Add App button.
7. Optional: If more than one app is added, change the Duration of each app.
8. Click the Apply Changes button.

The playlist will be saved and the Airtame screen will start showing the first of the listed apps. If more than one app is added, the list of apps will show for the selected duration, and loop when the end of the playlist is reached.
