Playlists

Ordering slides, reusing them across playlists and previewing what screens will show.

A playlist is an ordered list of slides that plays on a loop.

Creating a playlist

Go to Playlists and tap +. Give it a descriptive name — Lunch menu, Lobby weekdays, Christmas campaign. A playlist can hold up to 500 slides.

Adding and arranging slides

  • Tap + inside a playlist to create a new slide in it.
  • Drag slides by their handle to reorder them.
  • Tap a slide to edit it. Changes to a slide show up in every playlist that uses it.

Durations

Each slide has its own duration, but a playlist can override it for that one position. For example, a promo image can stay up for 10 seconds in the lobby playlist and 30 seconds in the waiting-room playlist.

Videos set to Until video ends advance as soon as the clip finishes.

Preview

Tap Preview to play the playlist full-screen in your browser, exactly as the player renders it — same layout, same transitions. Start the preview from any slide by tapping that slide's preview button.

Using a playlist

A playlist does nothing on its own until a screen group uses it, either as the group's default playlist or in a schedule rule. See screen groups and schedules. Then publish.
