Campus Wellness has TVs in various waiting areas and in the East/West nurses areas.
Each waiting area TV has a mini computer attached to it for playing Spotify as background music and displaying a Google Slides slideshow. The slideshow is provided by the UWaterloo Life team and is hosted in Google Slides. The UWaterloo Life team will submit a ticket to the Tech Team if a change has been made to the slides and they need to be refreshed (see Refresh the Slideshow below).
Each nurses area TV has a desktop computer attached to it for playing Spotify as background music and displaying the Accuro Scheduler module.
Starting Spotify and the Slideshow
People who work near the waiting room areas are tasked with starting the slideshow each morning by doing the following:
Gather the TV remote and the wireless keyboard/touchpad.
Turn on the wireless keyboard/touchpad, the TV, and the computer attached to it.
If necessary, use the TV remote to select the PC so you can login to it.
Use the wireless keyboard/touchpad to login to the computer with the Generic User account and the appropriate password (see Accounts and Passwords area below).
Spotify needs to be started first since the slideshow will take up the entire screen. Double-click the desktop shortcut to open Spotify.
Login to Spotify with the appropriate account and password (see Accounts and Passwords area below).
Open a playlist and play it. Please note that you can set up playlists from your own computer and don’t need to do this from the computer attached to the TV. Simply open Spotify on your computer and login with the appropriate account and password (see Accounts and Passwords area below).
Double-click the desktop shortcut to open Google Slides. It should open to https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/181vCx6ngR0KVmtQM3quG6aXzAJLyVl-c/.
Click Slideshow to start it and then move your mouse to the bottom-left corner and click the triple-dots to open the submenu.
Set it to Loop and Every 10 seconds then click Play at the top. Wait 10 seconds to ensure it moves to the next slide.
Return the remote and wireless keyboard/touchpad to a secure location.
