Client Idle Screen
The idle screen (lock screen) is what customers see on client PCs when no session is active. It serves as both a screensaver and a branded display for your cafe.
Enable / Disable
The idle screen slideshow can be toggled on or off. When disabled, clients display a static lock screen instead of rotating media.
