QR Code
- From your phone, scan the QR code

Enter Settings>Account>Login>+ Icon
Add all required domains to the list by using Graph API - Google accounts will NOT work with the Welcome Screen
* Learn how to setup and use Graph API here
For this FAQ, any user with the email suffix of "ucworkspace.com", "kramerav.com", or "ucwdemo.com" would be able to use the Welcome Screen
Zoom
To get the best Quicklaunch experience, we recommend having a Quicklaunch room exclusive Zoom account. To see the account that is being used, enter Settings>Account>Zoom and see the signed in account. If it is not the correct account, sign out and sign in with the correct information
No Internet Connection
If by any change, the Internet connection is lost and users cannot login to the Welcome Screen, users can use our settings shortcut, CTRL+ALT+S on their keyboard to enter Quicklaunch settings. In some cases, accessing Quicklaunch settings will require entering either a Quicklaunch exclusive passcode, or entering Administrative credentials.
