How can I customize For Teams Go?
For Teams Go version 4.x.x. is really flexible in terms of applications as well as settings. Below all settings/options as can be set in For Teams Go. In case you do not have certain options (yet), please check if you are running already the latest released version:
Note: Below settings can also be accessed (needs O365 authentication) remotely via https://settings.kickle.app except for the settings which need local file access (File Explorer).
Overview settings:
On the local machine, use a keyboard with the CTRL+SHIFT+K to access the settings (will need O365 authentication like on remote settings)
General:
1. Set time [Minutes] For Teams Go will book in the Exchange agenda when starting an unbooked/spontaneous meeting.
2. Automatic roombooking Enabled/Disabled (linked roombooking duration at item 1).
3. Select the default functionality after the meeting started:
- Whiteboard
- Browser
- VoilaReceiver (Wireless Screen Sharing)
4. 3:00AM automatic restart [application]/reboot [Windows device].
5. Allow to use the For Teams Go without pre-booking the meeting (off means you force people to book the meeting(room) in advance). If this feature is disabled (off), below information will disappear from the welcome page of the application.
6. Upload your company logo via the local File Explorer (logo will be located left bottom corner of the welcome screen). Uploaded image will automatically be rescaled in size and resolution to fit.
Supported formats: *.jpg , * .png, *.svg and *.webp.
Apps shortcuts
Important notes: None of the external applications can and will be controlled by the For Teams Go/Kickle application. Therefore it can be that external applications are storing data and/or can give access to local storage. Please make sure you are aware of this for your particular application(s) and take the appropriate measures where needed/required.
Keep in mind that Windows Store applications and System Tray application cannot be added as application. Also applications that force full screen and/or force to be in front of the For Teams Go application can conflict with the For Teams Go application.
Regarding VC applications, Windows cannot cope with multiple VC platforms at the same time (access to the microphone and camera is mutual exclusive). Therefor it is not recommended to combine multiple VC solutions in one configuration unless upfront well tested. If a certain VC solution is claiming the camera and/or microphone, others might not work. CTOUCH has no influence on that and can therefor not be held responsible.
