What can I put on my screens?

+

Images, video, playlists, multi-zone layouts, and live widgets — + clocks, weather, RSS tickers, countdowns, QR codes, web pages, and scrolling lobby/staff directories. You + can schedule different content by day and time, per display or per group.

+
+
+

Do my displays keep playing if the internet goes down?

+

+
+
+

Can I control my screens remotely?

+

Yes, on every plan. See a live view of what's on each screen, + push content instantly, and send remote key presses or power commands. (Live view and key presses on Android + require the on-device accessibility permission.)

+
+
+

Is there a limit on how many screens I can manage?

+

On cloud plans, your display count is set by your tier (1 free, + up to 15 on Pro, more on Enterprise). If you self-host, there is no built-in device cap — you're limited + only by your own hardware.
