Screensavers, Banners & Wallpapers in IZI CRM
The Screensavers section in IZI CRM controls what is displayed on your club’s PCs. It has three subsections: Screensavers (shown on idle machines with no active session), Widgets (image banners shown in the player interface sidebar during active sessions), and Wallpapers (static desktop background on all PCs). All three work through a rule-based system — each rule defines the media to display and which devices or zones to target. Screensavers and widgets also support a schedule; wallpapers do not.
Where to open: left panel → Screensavers
Screensavers
Section titled “Screensavers”Screensavers display images or video on any PC that has no active session running. As soon as a session starts on a machine, the screensaver clears and the player interface takes over.
Each screensaver rule defines:
- Media — up to 10 images (PNG, JPG, WebP; max 10 MB each) or one video file (MP4; max 100 MB). Images and video cannot be combined in the same rule.
- Targets — individual PCs, a zone, or all devices.
- Schedule — the date and time range during which the rule is active.
- Name — a label for identifying the rule in the list.
A real-time preview is available while editing, so you can verify how the content looks before saving.
Rule priority
Section titled “Rule priority”Rules are evaluated from top to bottom. The first rule that matches the current device and time window is applied — lower rules are ignored for that device. To adjust priority, drag and drop rules in the list. This lets you layer general defaults at the bottom with targeted overrides at the top — for example, a promotional screensaver for a specific zone during a weekend event, with a default brand screensaver underneath for all other times.
Widgets
Section titled “Widgets”The Widgets tab holds banner rules — images shown inside the player interface sidebar on a PC that has an active gaming session. Unlike screensavers, banners do not take over the whole screen: they occupy fixed sidebar slots alongside the session timer and other player-facing information.
Each banner rule defines:
- Media — images assigned to each slot. Multiple images per slot rotate at a configurable interval.
- Rotation interval — how often images cycle, in seconds.
- Targets — individual PCs, a zone, or all devices.
- Schedule — when the rule is active.
- Name — a label for the rule.
Banner slots
Section titled “Banner slots”Slots are the fixed positions available in the player sidebar. A single banner rule configures media for two modes:
| Mode | When it applies | Available slots |
|---|---|---|
| Free | PC has no active booking | Multiple sidebar sections |
| Busy | PC has an active session | Top slot only |
Media is configured separately for each slot within each mode. The preview shows how the banner looks in both Free and Busy states, so you can verify that content fits each layout before publishing.
Rotation interval applies per slot — images in a slot cycle automatically at the defined interval throughout the session.
Wallpapers
Section titled “Wallpapers”Wallpapers set the static desktop background on gaming PCs. Before this feature, wallpapers were set once during client installation and could not be changed from the CRM.
Each wallpaper rule defines:
- Image — JPEG or PNG, recommended size 1920×1080 pixels.
- Targets — individual PCs, zones, or a combination.
- Name — a label for identifying the rule in the list.
Scheduling is not supported: a wallpaper rule is always active. If multiple rules target the same device, the rule edited most recently takes effect.

Practical use
Section titled “Practical use”Screensavers are the most visible real estate in a club between sessions. Common uses:
- Brand and atmosphere imagery for idle machines
- Promotional content (limited-time tariff, upcoming event) targeted to a specific zone during relevant hours
- Sponsor or partner placements with time-based scheduling
Banners reach players while they are already playing — useful for:
- Cross-sell of bar orders or combo packages visible without interrupting the session
- Club news or event reminders shown in rotation
- Zone-specific content (e.g., a VIP section showing different imagery than the standard floor)
Wallpapers provide a consistent branded desktop background and can be updated remotely across the whole club in seconds — no need to touch each machine individually.

Section titled “See also”Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a screensaver, a banner, and a wallpaper in IZI?
A screensaver appears on an idle PC with no active session — it is the club's storefront for guests walking by. A banner is a widget shown inside the player interface sidebar during an active session, reaching the player while they are already playing. A wallpaper is a static desktop background visible whenever no game is running. Each is managed in its own subsection.
Can I show different content in different zones?
Yes. In each of the three subsections, a rule targets specific devices or an entire zone, so the VIP area can display its own content while the standard floor shows something different.
What media formats does IZI support for screensavers?
Images in PNG, JPG, or WebP format (up to 10 images per rule, max 10 MB each), or a single MP4 video file (max 100 MB). Images and video cannot be mixed within the same rule.
How does rule priority work?
Rules are evaluated top to bottom. The first rule that matches the device and the current time is applied. Drag and drop rules in the list to change their order and therefore their priority.
What are banner slots?
Slots are fixed positions in the player interface sidebar. A single banner rule configures media for two modes: Free (PC with no active booking) where multiple sidebar sections are available, and Busy (active session) where only the top slot is shown.
Can I preview how a screensaver or banner will look before publishing?
Yes. Both screensaver and banner rules show a real-time preview while you are editing the rule, so you can verify the layout and content before saving.
Do wallpaper rules support scheduling?
No. A wallpaper rule is always active. If multiple rules target the same device, the one edited most recently takes effect.
