Waiting room screens
Waiting room TV content that informs instead of distracts
Replace cable news in your waiting room with your own content: services, reminders, team introductions and wellness tips. Design screens with AI, rotate them in a playlist, and schedule them around your hours.
First 3 screens free. No credit card.
Your content, not cable
Show your services, reminders and staff introductions instead of whatever happens to be on TV.
Designed in minutes
Describe a slide like "flu shots available, calm blue, our logo" and choose from three AI designs.
Quiet by default
Set volume or mute remotely, and build loops that work without sound for a calm room.
Runs on the existing TV
Most waiting room TVs can run the browser player, or you can add an Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV device.
Content patients and clients find useful
A good waiting room loop answers questions before they are asked: what services you offer, how to use the patient portal, which providers are in today, what to expect at a first visit. Describe each slide and the AI Designer returns three calm, readable variations. Add QR codes for forms or portals so people can act on what they see from their phone.
- Three variations per description
- QR codes for forms and portals
- Templates for services and team introductions
- Images and short video in the loop
A playlist built for waiting
People in a waiting room glance up for a few seconds at a time. Build a playlist of short slides with clear durations so the loop never feels rushed or stale. Shuffle the order, add seasonal items with start and end dates, and preview the whole loop before it plays. Keep the loop silent and adjust volume or mute remotely if a video needs sound.
- Per-item durations and transitions
- Loop or shuffle
- Start and end dates for seasonal items
- Remote volume and mute
Schedule around your hours
Show a morning loop with today's providers, switch to a midday loop, and switch the screen off after closing. Recurrence handles different weekend hours. Give flu season or a holiday closure notice a date range, and use a temporary override when the office is running behind or a provider is out for the afternoon. Each change reverts to the regular schedule on its own.
- Daypart timeline for office hours
- Remote display off and on
- Date ranges for seasonal notices
- Temporary overrides for same-day changes
Keep sensitive information off the screen
DigitalSign is built for general information content, not patient data. Do not put names, appointment details or health information on a waiting room screen. There is no built-in connection to practice or check-in software. If your system can publish non-identifying numbers, such as an average wait time, as a REST or JSON feed or webhook, a data connection can show them. Most offices run a clear, scheduled loop of services, reminders and wellness content.
- General information content only
- No patient names or health details on screen
- No built-in practice software integration
- Generic data feeds for non-identifying numbers

FAQ
Waiting room TV: common questions
What should I show on a waiting room TV?
Services you offer, how to use your portal or forms, providers or staff on duty, seasonal reminders and general wellness tips. Keep slides short and readable from across the room.
Can I use the TV already in my waiting room?
Usually, yes. Any TV with a modern browser can run the player, or you can plug in an Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV device.
Can I control the volume remotely?
Yes. Volume, mute and screen off and on are remote commands in the dashboard, on Standard and up.
Can the screen show a patient queue or wait times?
Only through a generic data connection. There is no built-in practice software integration, but if your system can publish an anonymous wait time as a REST or JSON feed or webhook, a design can show it.
Can I show patient information on the waiting room screen?
No. DigitalSign is designed for general information content and makes no healthcare compliance claims, so keep patient names and health details off your screens.
How much does waiting room TV software cost?
The first three screens are free. Additional screens start at $3 per screen per month.
