Media and playlists

Upload images and video, arrange them into playlists, and choose what each screen shows.

For humans

The Content section holds your organization’s media library and playlists. Screens show either one playlist on a loop, or a single piece of media held on screen.

The media library

Upload images and video from the Content page. Uploads resume if your connection drops mid-file — a large video over venue wifi picks up where it left off rather than starting over.

The library deduplicates by content: uploading a file you already have simply points at the existing copy, so re-uploading the same menu image every week costs nothing and creates no clutter.

Images have size guardrails — very large photos straight from a phone camera can exceed what a TV panel can decode. The upload tells you when a file is refused and why; resize the photo and try again.

Playlists

A playlist is an ordered list of library items, each with a duration for how long it holds the screen (video defaults to its own length). Build one from the Content page: create it, add items, drag them into order.

Editing a playlist that is live on screens is safe. Screens pick up the new version on their next check-in, download anything new, verify it, and switch over in one step — a half-updated playlist never reaches the wall.

Assigning content to screens

From a playlist (or a single item), choose which screens show it. A screen can also hold a single item temporarily — a notice, a poster — and go back to its playlist afterward.

Deleting is deliberately guarded: the console refuses to delete media that a playlist still uses, or a playlist that screens are still showing, and names what is holding it. Nothing a wall depends on can vanish out from under it.
