Overview
It's easy to add assets to your Screens Content library to display across your workplace. You can upload images and videos, or embed public URLs like YouTube videos or Canva presentations!
Once you upload content, you can use it to build playlists. Screens Playlists keep content organized across devices. You can create as many playlists as you need for different reasons; Event promotion, employee recognition, and maintenance alerts are all important messages that can be shown in your workplace.
Adding Content
All of your content will be organized into the Screens Content Library. You can add content directly to your library or within a playlist. Once your content is uploaded, you'll need to add it to a playlist before assigning it to your screen(s). Jump to: Creating a playlist
Adding content directly to your library:
Navigate to Screens > Content, then click + New.
Select the content type from the dropdown menu: Image, Video, or URL.
Select your file to upload or paste your URL.
The file/URL will be added to the import queue and displayed in the library once complete.

Deleting a folder also deletes any uploaded or linked content.
Within your folders, you can organize content by sorting by type (Image, Video, URL), age, and title (A>Z, Z>A).

Creating playlists
After uploading content to your content library, you'll need to create a playlist in order to assign content to your Screen(s).
Go to Screens > Playlists and click on Create playlist.
Select content from your existing content library, or click + New to upload. Any content uploaded in a playlist will be added to the content library.
Give your new playlist a name by clicking on Untitled Playlist in the upper left-hand corner. Other admins can see these, so it's best to choose something concise. Click Rename to save.
Once your content loads, a preview will appear. You can add more content by clicking the + sign at the bottom.
✨Tip: Using images for your screen? You can find your device dimensions by clicking the Ellipses > Manage for the screen you want to design for.✨
Content Timing
Once you have uploaded content to your Playlist, it's important to define how long it will display. The default for images is 10 seconds, while videos default to match the video length.
You can adjust the content length by clicking on the timer at the top of the screen.
After adjusting the time, click Sync to push any changes to paired devices.
