Thanking your event users with a Video message

Updated: Jan 2021

So you are running an event at your social gathering and you would like to thank each of your guests (after they have used the system) by playing them a video message.  In this article we explain how to set this up.

Record your video
The easiest way to record your 'Thank you' video is to use RightBooth itself of course!
So, sit down, think about what you would like to say to your guests, then run the event and record your video.
Your video will be saved in the current event folder (defined in Settings), so using Windows Explorer find your recorded video file and then we suggest you move it to the Videos folder on your system, and rename it in the process to something like thankyou.wmv

Add your video to the event
To add your 'Thank you' video:

• In RightBooth, open your event.
• Go to Event Structure tab in the Event Designer and make sure the 'Thank you' screen option is ticked.
• Then visit the Screen Editor and on the Toolbox select the Thank you screen from the screen list.
• Open the Add items toolbox and click the Video button to add a new blank video item to the screen.
• Double click the video item, then browse for your previously recorded 'Thank you' video file.
• Size and position your video on the screen.

​
Changing the Screen Timeout
You now have your video on the Thank you screen, so each time the screen is shown your 'Thank you' video will play.
However, the default display time for the Thank you screen is set to 4 seconds, so your video will only play for 4 seconds before RightBooth automatically returns to the Start screen.  To fix this...
​

• In the Screen Editor, on the Thank you screen, open the Screen Properties Toolbox.
• On the Timeout section,  change the Timeout property to 'On video item'

Now during the event whenever the Thank you screen is shown it will remain showing until your video has finished playing, after which RightBooth will return to the Start screen.
