You have the option of including a short intro animation when the board is opened in recipient view. To turn this feature on and off, click the Appearance button on the upper left-hand side of the board and toggle on Intro Animation (the intro animation will be on by default for most boards) - gray is off, blue is on.
Note: This animation will also appear each time you switch to recipient view while viewing the board (eye icon on the upper right-hand side of the board when in editor view).
Here's a snapshot of what that animation looks like. Click View Kudoboard to continue to the board.
The animation can be replayed while in recipient view by clicking the Replay Intro button on the upper left-hand side of the board.
There is the option of skipping the animation each time it plays. A Skip button will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen when the animation begins.
