You can customize the default streamer settings that are used when you deploy the streamer out to your users and computers. This way, there's no need to manually configure the settings after installation.
Customizing streamer settings is part of the process of creating a streamer deployment package.
When you click on the Create Deployment Package button (web console > Management > Deployment), you will see all of the options you can customize.
When this deployment package (deployable streamer plus 12-digit deployment code) is installed on a computer, the streamer on the computer will default to your specified settings.
Potential uses of deployment package options
- Create a deployment package for each of your client businesses. Set a computer naming rule so that all of the computers in the same business are automatically named after that business.
- (New) Import LogMeIn Central computer description: If the computer already has LMI installed, the streamer can use the same computer description as the computer name.
- Select an existing preference policy or create a new one.
- Choose the naming rule for your remote computers:
- If you tick the option "Keep in sync OS hostname", whenever the remote computer's hostname changes, the name will be reflected on Splashtop.

- %MANUFACTURER%: Manufacturer name
- %BRAND%: Brand name
- %MODEL%: Model name

- %IMEI%: Device IMEI
