# Selfie Mirror settings explained

> Reference guide for all Selfie Mirror settings: idle, prompt, capture and covers, selection, share, branding, speech, and devices.

Settings are grouped by screen, in the order a visitor sees them. Multi-language texts are written per language. The mirror uses the installation's default language.

## Console settings

1. **Installation name:** The name shown in **Apps** → **Installations**
2. **Add to group:** The [installation group](https://learn.phygrid.com/glossary/#installation-group) it belongs to
3. **Multi-language support:** The languages you can write texts in. Applies to every multi-language text field below (see [Glossary](https://learn.phygrid.com/glossary/#multi-language-support))

## 1. Idle

The attract screen shown while nobody is at the mirror.

1. **Idle / Attract Screen → Background:** Full-screen image or video. Videos play muted, automatically, and in a loop
2. **Idle / Attract Screen → Brand Title:** Heading on the idle screen. Default: "Come closer to take a selfie!"

The camera countdown, the photo, and the covers made from it.
