The problem

Every guest asks the same questions. Usually at midnight.

Welcome TV answers them before they’re asked, on the biggest screen in the room. Guests settle in faster, your phone stays quiet, and the warm welcome shows up in your reviews.

Features

Everything a guest needs, on the screen they already look at

Greets every guest by name

“Welcome, Priya!” on the big screen the moment they walk in, with their dates and check-out time.

Wi-Fi in one scan

A QR code joins their phone to your Wi-Fi. No more spelling out passwords on WhatsApp at midnight.

Smooth check-outs

On the last day the screen switches to your check-out steps: AC off, keys on the table, door closed.

Follows your Airbnb calendar

Bookings from Airbnb and Booking.com appear by themselves. Cancellations disappear by themselves.

Run it from your phone

Add direct and offline bookings, change the Wi-Fi or house rules. The TV updates in seconds.

There when needed, never in the way

Your guide stays up for 30 minutes and closes at a button press. Then the TV’s own screensaver and sleep timer take over, so nothing sits on the screen all day.

Your logo on the screen

Put your stay’s or brand’s logo next to the property name or above the Wi-Fi code, in the size you like.

The weather, at a glance

Today’s weather and a three-day forecast for your area, under the Wi-Fi code, so guests plan their day. Weather: MET Norway.

Colours and layouts

Eight ready-made colour sets or your own, and five layouts, from a photo strip to full-screen photo.

Your own photos

A photo of your place for each screen: during the stay, on check-out day and between guests.

Every TV, by name

Living room, bedroom, lobby: name each TV, see when it was last on, and move it to another property in a tap.

Integrations

Works with the booking tools you already use

Bookings arrive by themselves through calendar sync, checked every 30 minutes. Cancellations disappear by themselves.

For property managers

Every property, every TV, one dashboard

Managing several homes, a building or a small hotel? Welcome TV runs them all from one account.

Many TVs

Pair as many TVs as you need, name them (“Room 2”, “Villa A lounge”) and move one to another property in a click. The TV Devices page shows which are on, and which still need a setting.

Bookings without typing

Each listing’s calendar link from Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or your channel manager, checked every 30 minutes.

Volume prices

A lower price per TV for five TVs or more. One payment covers every TV.

Tell us about your portfolio and we’ll help you set up the first TVs.

How it works

Live on your TV today, without lifting a screwdriver

Beside the TV with your phone? Follow the step-by-step TV setup guide.

  1. 1

    Install it on your TV

    Get the Welcome TV app on the TV (below) and follow our short guide, or on Pro we do it with you on a video call. Nothing technical on your side.

  2. 2

    Pair it with a code

    The TV shows a six-letter code. Type it in your dashboard, or scan the QR code on screen.

  3. 3

    It opens by itself

    Allow it once with the remote, and Welcome comes up every time the TV is switched on. No buttons for guests to find.

  4. 4

    Guests feel at home

    Your bookings flow in from Airbnb. Every guest is greeted, connected and guided, stay after stay.

The full TV setup, step by step · about 5 minutes per TV, with the remote
  1. Install the app on the TV
    On the TV, open the browser or the Downloader app and type getwelcometv.com/app, then install Welcome TV. Works on any Android TV or Google TV. Samsung or LG? Plug in a Google TV or Android TV stick first.
  2. Pair it with the code
    Open Welcome from the TV’s apps. It shows a 6-letter code: type it in your dashboard under TV Devices › Pair New TV, or scan the QR code on the TV with your phone.
  3. Let it open by itself
    So guests see their welcome as soon as they switch the TV on:
    • Every TV: on Welcome’s pairing screen, press OK on the gold line “Press OK so Welcome opens by itself”, then choose Welcome › Allowed. (Or: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Display over other apps › Welcome › Allowed.)
    • TCL and iFFALCON TVs, also: open the Safety Guard app › Permission Shield › Auto Launch Permission. Set Auto manager to Closed, then set Welcome to Opened.
    • Open Welcome once. From then on it opens by itself when the TV wakes up or restarts.
  4. Screensaver (optional)
    On Android TV (Sony, Philips, OnePlus and more): Settings › Device Preferences › Screen saver › Welcome, so the guide comes back whenever nobody is watching. Google TV and Chromecast only offer Google’s own screensaver: there Welcome stays up for 30 minutes, then the TV’s screensaver and sleep timer take over.

Questions

Good to know

Which TVs does it work on?

Any Android TV or Google TV: Sony, TCL, iFFALCON, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Philips, Hisense and more. Samsung and LG smart TVs run their own system: plug in any Google TV or Android TV streaming stick and Welcome TV runs on that.

Do my guests need to install anything?

No. The welcome screen is on the TV and the Wi-Fi joins with their phone camera. Guests just switch the TV on.

Where do the guest names come from?

From the bookings in your dashboard: type a name once and it appears on the TV. Airbnb’s calendar shares dates but not names, so automatic names from your Airbnb booking emails are coming next.

What if I change the Wi-Fi password or the house rules?

Change it in the dashboard on your phone. The TV shows the new version within seconds, wherever you are.

Can the welcome screen burn into my TV?

No. It keeps the screen on for 30 minutes after it opens, then hands back to the TV: its own screensaver and sleep timer take over, as with any app. On Android TV you can also pick Welcome as the screensaver (Settings › Device Preferences › Screen saver); it moves around so nothing burns in. Google TV and Chromecast only offer Google’s own screensaver (Ambient mode), so there the TV’s screensaver takes over.

What happens if the internet goes down?

The TV keeps showing the last details it received, and catches up by itself when the connection is back.

What do you keep about my guests?

Only a first name and the dates of each stay, and those are deleted 30 days after check-out. Nothing is shared or sold.
