Written forEvent producers

Displays can be protected or turned off when a viewing surface should not be public yet. Use password protection for limited access and disable a display when it should stop loading publicly.

Steps

  1. 1Open the experience and choose Displays.
  2. 2Open the display settings.
  3. 3Use Password Protected when only approved viewers should access the display.
  4. 4Set or rotate the display password and share it only with the intended audience.
  5. 5Disable the display when it should stop being available.
  6. 6Open the public display link in a private browser session to confirm the expected access behavior.

What to know

  • Password protection limits access but still leaves the display available to people with the link and password. Disabling the display is stronger when a public surface should not be used.
  • Live Mosaic also has event-day safety controls for pausing or blanking the wall. Use those controls when the wall should freeze or go blank temporarily; disable the display when the public link itself should stop loading.
  • If a display is embedded on a website, changing dashboard access settings can affect that website immediately. Coordinate with the web owner before disabling a live embedded display.

Tips

  • Rotate the password after a private review period if the display will later be reused.
  • Do not place display passwords on public signage.
  • Use a private browser window when testing access so your dashboard session does not mask the guest experience.
