For a lobby or reception screen, use the online tour: open its player address (the `src` in the **Web Embed Code** on the **Publish** tab) in the screen's browser. It shows your own design on every plan, so **Autorotate on idle** works, and a change reaches the screen without copying files ([when changes show](https://www.panoramr.com/help/when-do-changes-show)). Add `#pano=` and a panorama's number to the address to open on one room.

A downloaded copy needs a web server of your own (double-clicking `index.html` is likely to show a black screen), and it is a snapshot you download again after each change. The free download is the Standard design, where autorotate is off; your own design needs a paid plan. A map window and YouTube or Vimeo videos still need the internet, and the tour has not been tried with no connection at all, so a copy does not promise a screen that works offline.

Panoramr has no kiosk mode, no timer that moves to another room and no fullscreen setting: a visitor stops the turning by touching the picture, and it starts again after 3 seconds. [Autorotate and kiosk displays](https://www.panoramr.com/help/configuring-auto-rotate-and-autoplay-for-kiosks-and-displays) has the settings.
