Burn in

I’ve been digging through the documentation regarding burn-in prevention and I may be missing something simple.

Our use case is mostly static digital signage:

  • room names

  • welcome messages

  • schedules

  • event information

These screens may display the same layout for days at a time. We can add some transitions or minor movement, but the entire point of the system is to keep the templates locked down and consistent.

What I’m trying to understand is:
How does Yodeck prevent image retention / burn-in on displays running mostly static templates?

I’ve seen other systems use a very subtle moving overlay or screen shift effect (even something as simple as a slow drifting pattern) specifically to prevent permanent retention while still keeping the signage visually “static.”

I’m hoping there’s a built-in option I’m overlooking — maybe a simple toggle for pixel shifting, screen drift, anti-burn protection, etc.

I’d prefer not to convert every sign into a video just to avoid burn-in since these are primarily simple text-based announcements and informational displays.

Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.
