Tips for Effective Video Integration
1. Match Videos to Your Playlist
To avoid dissonance, your music videos should feel aligned with the audio vibe you’re creating. Don’t mix relaxing jazz audio with hip-hop visuals, for example. Platforms like the Control Play TV offer synchronized audio-visual experiences tailored for hospitality spaces.
2. Avoid Overcrowding Screens
Video screens should support your ambiance—not overpower it. Use the TVs strategically, and avoid plastering them on every wall.
3. Control Noise Levels
Make sure the video volume isn’t competing with other elements in your environment, like customer chatter.
4. Consider Your Seating Arrangement
The placement of your TV screens matters. Angle them where they’ll enhance guests’ experiences without interrupting conversations. For example:
- Bar areas: Perfect for direct visual engagement.
- Dining sections: Keep screens subtle or even optional.

Playing the same music videos on loop can quickly feel repetitive. Ensure you are creating a different mix for every daypart. Rotate visuals or feature seasonal video themes to keep things exciting.
