Brand awareness on the gym floor is important. That is why we offer the possibility to set up a Screensaver for your Virtual Player or Multi-Screen Solution (MSS) to display during downtime.

Note: This video will play in a loop. If using a still image, we recommend you include a fade in/out at the start and end of your video, so that it can be played in a seamless loop. Otherwise, a cut-off at the end of the clip will be perceptible.
Uploading your video screensaver
- Once you are logged into your Funxtion Interactive backend, select the "Players" tab from your left-hand side menu. This will open the list of players linked to your account.
- Click on the player you want to add the screensaver to.
- You will reach the player's edit page. Scroll down to find the "SVT Screensavers" field.
- Click on the "Choose video files" button, and select your MP4 clip.
- Click "Save".
After clicking save, your video will begin uploading. If it met all the requirements, the upload will be successful. The player will pick up and apply the change within 30 minutes.
FAQ
Can I set different screensavers per player?
Yes, you can! Since this setting is applied at the player level, this means that you can add different screensavers for different players, even if they are in the same location.
There is a cut-off at the end of my video screensaver. Can that be removed?
The video screensaver is constantly looping. This means that it "plays" like a video, and there will be a small gap between each loop. To conceal this gap, we advise fading your video to black towards the end, and fade your video into view at the start. This ensures seamless continuity, and hides that gap.
