Learn how to create a playlist, add different types of content to it, and configure playback settings for your digital signage.

Beginner6 steps8 min
1

Navigate to Playlists

From the SignageSpace dashboard, click on "Playlists" in the sidebar navigation. This is where you'll manage all your playlists.

2

Create a new playlist

Click the "New Playlist" button. Give your playlist a name that describes its purpose, such as "Lobby Welcome" or "Daily Promotions".

Use descriptive names that include the location or purpose — it makes managing multiple playlists much easier.

3

Upload and add media content

Click "Add Content" to add items to your playlist. You can upload images and videos from your computer, or choose from previously uploaded media in your library. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, MP4, and WebM.

4

Add apps to your playlist

Beyond media files, you can add apps like Clock, Weather, YouTube videos, or web page embeds. Browse the App Store to find apps that suit your needs, then add them directly to your playlist.

Apps update dynamically — a Clock app always shows the current time, and a Weather app always displays current conditions.

5

Configure duration and order

Set how long each item should display before advancing to the next. Drag items to reorder them. You can also enable shuffle mode for a randomized playback experience.

6

Assign the playlist to a screen

Once your playlist is ready, go to your screen settings and assign this playlist. The content will start playing immediately on the connected display.
