Introduction:

Follow the steps below to configure scheduling on your meeting room displays. It is important to ensure that all settings are correctly configured for optimal functionality.

1. Set the Display’s Standby Mode:

  2. Select "Default Apps" or a similar menu depending on the device.
  3. Set the Q-Cal app as the default home app.

  2. Find the Q-Cal app in the list of installed apps.
  3. Grant access to external storage (often referred to as "Storage" or "Permissions").
