Valotalive Control turns passive info screens into interactive displays. Take control of the screen temporarily using a mobile device via (changing) QR-code.

Viewer taking the control can play the preloaded contents on the screen.

Log in with your mobile

If you have added the App to your Display, you will see the URL of the Web App that runs when the system is idle (URL in the example: https://valota.live/) and the PIN on the right bottom corner:

Option a) Scan the QR Code. For iPhone just use your camera. For Android you can use any scanner app. Also Google Lens works to scan the code.

Option b) Navigate to control.valota.live using your mobile phone. Chrome browser is recommended but Safari also works. Give the PIN code that you can see on your Display.

Play your content

Once you have logged in, this is how the Display looks like now. You can see the available content sliding horizontally in front of the theme you have chosen.

Use your mobile phone to select the content to play on the digital signage screen. Just press the play button on the right side of each content.

Optional: If you have categorized the posts in the App settings beforehand, you can now choose on top between the different categories and assigned content.

Note ! You first have to add a category in the Control App settings in your Valotalive account and will then have the option to assign the uploaded posts in your My Content Channel to the respective category.

If you open a PDF doc with multiple pages, you can easily slide from one page to the other using the "Prev" or "Next" button. Click "Stop" to go back to the main page.

Best practice tip - The mobile phone’s screenlog will log you out of the application and the log out time depends on the mobile you are using.

In case you are giving a longer presentation using the Control App, turn off the screen-lock in your mobile phone to prevent sudden log out.
