You can display custom images and digital signage content when your organization's Beam-enabled devices are not in use. We strongly recommend this to avoid image stickiness or screen burn-in.
Because the aspect ratio of the screen is slightly cropped, your content should meet the specifications for your video conferencing platform to ensure that it displays correctly.
Click the tab that corresponds to your license.
Google Beam for Meet
For Google Beam for Meet licenses, the settings are the same as for a Meet hardware device, except for the maximum delay time. Unlike other Meet hardware devices, Beam sets a maximum delay to start of 120 minutes, and defaults to that value without a warning if you try to set a longer delay. We also recommend setting Start after this many minutes of inactivity to a low value (<10 minutes).
Go to Display custom screen saver images or digital signage content for Google Meet hardware for setup instructions.
