Every call is announced

No sound?
- Check that the status at the top right of the board says Sound on. If not, press any button on the remote.
- Check the TV’s volume.
- If it says Sound not available, the TV’s browser has no voice for the visitors’ language. The chime still plays, and the number still shows on screen.
Replacing TV access
The TV link and code keep working until you make new ones in Settings → QR & Link. Make new ones when an old TV is no longer used, so it stops showing the queue.
