Customize room screens with backgrounds and logos. Choose from several predefined themes, or create your own. You can create as many themes as you like, enabling different themes for every room, floor, or building, and set a default theme.

Alternatively, display a specific website on a screen with URL mode. This can be useful for events or to display another booking solution.

About themes for room screens

Create themes to display on all room screens in your organization or different themes for specific countries, locations, buildings, or just selected room screens. There are three theme levels:

  • Global themes can be applied to any room screen and can be quickly sent to all screens in your organization. A Global admin can set a global theme as the default theme for all countries and locations. Administrators of any level can view and apply global themes to the countries and locations they have access to, but only a Global admin can create or set a theme as a global theme or set the default theme.
  • Country-level themes can be applied to room screens in all locations belonging to the selected country, or only to specific locations and buildings. Country-level themes can be created by Global admins and Country admins.
  • Location-level themes can be applied to room screens in the selected location, or only to specific buildings. Location-level themes can be created by Global admins, Country admins, and Location admins.

We recommend linking a maximum of 200 room screens to each screen theme to maintain efficient page load times when opening a theme and saving changes.

Themes are grouped in the Screen Themes settings, according to their level (Global, Country-level, Location-level).

Background status theme for third-party devices

The status light bar on Eptura and Condeco screens that clearly shows space availability is not available on third-party devices, instead, devices running the Eptura Room Screen app can display a background color to clearly show the current status of the room:

🟢 Green - Room available; no meeting in progress
🔴 Red - Room in use; meeting in progress
🟡 Amber - Room is in check-in state; awaiting check-in
⚫ Black - Room closed; out of business hours and closed status (Classic UI)
🔵 Blue - Room closed; (Modern UI)

From the Background section, select Use status color.
