Initial Setup Walkthrough

Set up your first screen in three simple steps. Watch the quick setup video below, or follow the written instructions.

Step 1: Create Your First Message​

A message is any piece of content displayed on your screen. Let's start with a simple image. Watch the detailed tutorial →

  1. Click on the Messages tab and choose your screen size (most cases: Horizontal)
  2. Select the Simple Image template
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Category — A folder name to organize your messages
    • Name — A descriptive name
    • Duration — How long the message should display
  4. Upload your image:
    • Click the black box that says Upload Your Image
    • Click the Upload button in the top right corner
    • Choose your image and click Open
    • Adjust the crop if needed, then click Update
  5. Click Save
Confirmation

If your message appears in the category folder on the left, your progress has been saved.

Step 2: Create a Playlist​

A playlist is a collection of messages that play in sequence. A default "Custom Playlist" with a weather message is already created for you. Watch the detailed tutorial →

  1. Click on the Playlists tab and select Horizontal
  2. Open your Custom Playlist (or create a new one)
  3. Under Available Content, select your category folder
  4. Click on your message to add it to the playlist
  5. Add more messages by clicking them
  6. Arrange messages by dragging them up or down
  7. Remove messages by clicking the trash can icon
  8. Click Save

Your playlist is now ready to display on your screen.

Step 3: Connect Your Screen​
