Yes, on a hosted tour (in a Vault or your plan's hosting). Panoramr's start screen shows on every tour that is not hosted, embedded or not, and it cannot be switched off there. Once the tour is hosted, Panoramr's start screen is gone: your own brand's start screen shows instead, if it has one, and you can switch that off with **Show a start screen** in Design > **Intro page**.
