How to split screen into multiple zones
Eva Novotna10/4/2024
Imagine that you want to divide your screen into multiple zones. Main zone would play videos in a loop and there will be a footer with current time & news at the bottom. Something like this:
How to do this?
- Create a playlist with all the content you want to play in a loop
- Then create a scene
- Add a new "playlist" item to the scene and adjust its position. Click on the Select playlist button and select the playlist you created in the 1. step
- Add another item, this time "Scrolling Text" and adjust its position
- Click on "Save changes" and click on "Go Back"
- Click on the "Publish" button and select screens where the scene should be published to
- Go to the Screens dashboard, find the screen(s) where you have published the scene and click on the Preview (eye icon) and check the result
Tips & tricks
- Do not play multiple videos simultaneously without testing if your device can handle it. Cheaper devices, in particular, might have performance issues playing more than one video at a time. Also, note that the video may be "choppy."
- Similar effect can be achieved by using playlist's layout. You can learn more about it here.
