From preparing content to playing it on screen

Frequently asked questions

Answers to questions that come up when reviewing this capability.

How do WaitCast's features work together?

Content suited to your center is selected in the panel and arranged in a playlist. When the device is connected, it downloads files and updates, then plays prepared content from its own storage on the TV.

Do I need to be next to the TV to manage content?

No. You select content and save changes in the web-based panel. The device must be online to receive the new version; saving a change in the panel does not instantly update a disconnected device.

What happens if the practice loses its internet connection?

Complete, prepared content stored on the device can keep playing. Initial sign-in, new downloads and receiving new changes require a connection.

Does a smart playlist select content automatically?

With this feature, users choose available content and manage its order. Smart does not mean automatic AI content selection, and mandatory videos cannot be removed.

Can we show content created specifically for our doctor?

Your center's approved content can appear alongside educational material and service introductions. Files must be suitable and their information checked before publication; content preparation requirements are discussed during consultation.

Where should I start, and which plan is right for me?

First, identify the number of displays, your center's specialty and its content needs. Start comparing on the plans page; you can request an order to discuss equipment and your center's requirements.

How would WaitCast work in your center?
