Yodeck for LG webOS runs directly on supported LG displays with no extra hardware, but some features work differently than on the Yodeck Player (Raspberry Pi). Check these limitations before you plan your content.

Content and playback
Feature | Status | What it means |
4K playback | ❌ Not supported | Content plays at a maximum of 1080p, even on 4K LG displays. |
High-resolution images | ⚠️ Limited | Images larger than the display's resolution may not show correctly. See the tip below. |
Gapless playback | ⚠️ Limited | Transitions may show a short gap in heavy layouts that combine video with many apps. |
Apps that use script code | ❌ Not supported | Some apps won't run. Check the App Compatibility Table for each app. |
Custom scripts on web pages | ❌ Not supported | Web pages display, but scripts added with the Web Scripting Engine don't run. |
YouTube live streams | ❌ Not supported | Live channel streams don't play. Regular YouTube videos are not affected. |
Interactive Kiosk and interactivity apps | ❌ Not supported | Includes Interactive Kiosk, Interactive Library and Interactive Playlist. |
USB to HDMI video capture | ❌ Not supported | Live video input from a USB capture device can't be shown. |
💡 Size images to the display. Check your display's resolution in the Yodeck Portal under Screens, open the screen, then the Status tab. Resize images to that resolution or smaller before uploading.
Screen and device settings
Feature | Status | What it means |
Turning the screen on and off | ⚠️ Works differently | When a schedule turns the screen off, the display shows a black screen with the backlight off. The display stays powered on. |
180-degree rotation | ❌ Not supported | webOS can't flip content upside down. Mount the display the right way up, or use 90-degree portrait rotation instead. |
Screen resolution | ❌ Not supported | Resolution can't be changed from Yodeck. |
Sound output selection | ❌ Not supported | You can't choose HDMI, analog, auto or muted from Yodeck. The display uses its own audio setting. |
Network settings | ❌ Not supported | WiFi and Ethernet settings can't be managed from Yodeck. |
Security settings | ❌ Not supported | Custom certificates, SSH access and storage encryption aren't available. |
💡 Need to change network, resolution or sound? Set them in the LG display's own settings menu. Yodeck uses whatever the display is configured with.
