This article provides an overview of the deployment options available when creating a new deployment package in Splashtop On-Prem. These options help customize how the Splashtop Streamer behaves after deployment.
| Option | Description | Notes |
| Package Name | Enter a unique name to identify the deployment package. | Helps distinguish between different deployment packages. |
| Policy Name | Select a preference policy or create a new one. | Determines session settings, quality, and security options. |
| Computer Naming Rule | - Use current OS hostname: Keeps the computer name synced with the OS hostname. - Use custom name + sequence number: Customize computer names with an incremental number (e.g., 'Acme Bakery-001'). - Use custom name or current hostname: Allows a custom name but defaults to the OS hostname if unspecified. |
Organizes computers with identifiable names in the Splashtop management console. |
| Grouping | Assign the computer to a specific group (e.g., 'Default Group'). | Use the 'Create or manage groups' link to add/edit groups. |
| Auto-launch Streamer | Automatically starts the Streamer when the computer boots up. | Not applicable to Splashtop Connector deployments. |
| Idle Session Timeout | Automatically disconnects sessions after a specified period of inactivity. | Set to '0' for no timeout. |
| Hide Streamer Tray Icon | Removes the Streamer icon from the system tray/menu bar to prevent user tampering. | Not applicable to Splashtop Connector deployments. |
| Enable Direct Connection | Allows direct connections for better performance when on the same local network. | |
| Require Windows or Mac Login | Options for requiring login credentials for remote access: - Prompt for user permission. - Reject if no permission is granted (auto-reject). - Allow connection automatically if no action is taken (auto-allow). - Turn off the feature entirely. |
Helps enforce security and control over remote access. |
| Blank Screen | Hides the content on the remote screen during sessions for privacy. | |
| Lock Screen on Disconnect | Automatically locks the remote computer’s screen after a session ends. | |
| Lock Keyboard and Mouse | Prevents local users from interacting with the computer during a session. | |
| Lock Streamer Settings | Restricts changes to Streamer settings to administrators. | |
| Sound | Options for sound output: - Remote connection only. - Local computer only. - Both remote and local computers (Windows Streamer only). |
Lets you configure audio routing during sessions. |
Additional Notes
Features marked as 'Not applicable to computers deployed via Splashtop Connector' may not function as expected, as the connector bypasses certain standard deployment features by providing a direct deployment mechanism.
