Common Player Questions

What is Meeting Room Signage?
Meeting Room Signage is used in conference rooms or shared collaboration spaces. It allows for the reuse of existing hardware to display digital signage content when a meeting is not in session. This enables the maximization of existing hardware ROI and helps prevent supply chain challenges.
Meeting Room Signage is intended to provide advanced Scheduling Information, Emergency Alerts, and Company-wide Announcements.

What is Room Scheduling?
Room Scheduling is Space Management software that allows your end-users to see when a room or multiple rooms are available for use. The Korbyt Anywhere Platform allows for almost any type of Scheduling software integration (Outlook, Google Calendar, etc) while also allowing a uniform digital content aesthetic and multi-format functionality.

What Operating Systems do your players support?
We support Android, Windows, and BrightSign OS.
For assistance with picking the OS for your scenario, please see the chart below.

Can I build my own player?
Yes, Korbyt provides the option to build your own player via our native Android Application, Windows Player Application, or via Progressive Web Application (PWA). There may be limitations to the performance if the hardware specifications are not properly matched to the expected functionality. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact your Korbyt Account Executive.

Do you support BrightSign 5 Series media players?
Yes, Korbyt has been working on new versions of our player software to take advantage of the new BrightSign 5 Series players.
