Adding audio prompts to events

Updated: Feb 2021

RightBooth allows you to add an audio file to each screen in the event.  During the event, the audio file will play each time the screen is displayed.  This can be useful if you want to help guide your users through the system or simply to play some music at various places within the event flow.

Adding Audio to Event Screens
Let's say you want to play some music on the Start screen.

• Go to the Screen Editor and select the Start screen on the Toolbox
• Show the Screen Properties toolbox
• On the Audio section of the Properties toolbox, click the File button.
• Browse your computer and choose the audio file you require to play
• On the example opposite we've selected the file bugle.wav

Now run the event and you'll hear the bugle audio play each time the Start screen is shown.

On the Audio Properties you'll notice that you can also alter the audio volume and audio speed.
You can also make the audio file play again (Repeat), after it completes and also provide the amount of time (the Delay) before the audio repeats.

Remember...  Each screen can have a different audio prompt.  So for example if you have an audio file that say's 'Thank you for using our system', you could add that to the event Thank you screen.

Adding Audio to Countdown Items
Another place where you can add audio prompts is on a Countdown item.

• Go to the Screen Editor and select the Countdown screen on the Toolbox
• Click on the countdown item to select it.
• Show the Countdown Properties toolbox
• On the Coundown section of the Properties toolbox, click the Sound combo box and choose a sound file
• On the example opposite we've selected the file beep

Your chosen sound will now play each time the Countdown item changes its value.
