Display on shared PC

Reuses an existing PC (usually the front desk or reception PC) to show called tickets on a large screen. The PC is still used by operators — the display runs in a browser tab or on a secondary monitor.

Setup options

Option A — Dedicated secondary monitor

The PC has two video outputs. One monitor is for the operator (operator panel), another monitor/TV faces the waiting room (display).

[Front desk PC] ─── Operator monitor (operator panel)
                 └── Waiting room TV (display in Chrome tab)

Option B — Shared screen (part-time)

The same monitor shows the display when no operator is active. Less ideal but works.

Option C — Wireless display (Miracast / Chromecast)

Connect the TV wirelessly from the reception PC:

• Windows: Use "Cast" (Win+K) to a Miracast-compatible TV or dongle.
• Chromecast: Cast the Chrome tab with the display to a TV with a Chromecast device.

Installation steps

1. Create the display in the app

Displays → New Display

• Name and Location (e.g. "Waiting room").
• Display language and Voice language (the speaker button plays a sample announcement on the computer you're configuring from).
• Voice speed: slower if the room is noisy or the speakers are far away.
• Services to show: tick the services whose tickets will appear on this display.

Save and click the "Open display public view" icon in the list: copy the address that opens (https://yourturn.space/?display=ID).

2. Open the display in Chrome

On the front desk PC, open a new Chrome window (not tab):

chrome.exe --new-window "https://yourturn.space/?display=DISPLAY_ID"

Press F11 for full screen. Drag the window to the waiting room monitor.

3. Prevent accidental closure

Use Windows Task Scheduler to auto-open Chrome with the display on login:

Action → Create basic task → At log on → Start a program
Program: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Arguments: --new-window --start-fullscreen "DISPLAY_URL"

Combining with a printer

If the kiosk also needs a printer, the shared PC can act as Print Server at the same time. Install it on the same PC and pair the printer. See Kiosk with printer.
