Intro

With a few simple clicks, you can preview the content on your browser before pushing it live to your players. There are many ways to preview the content on your end. Below you can find a detailed way to quickly preview your content on your PC/Laptop's browser.

Single media preview

On each media, you can see content in Full-screen mode by clicking the magnifying glass icon, as shown below.

Media Preview


Playlist Preview

You can see how your playlist will display on the TV screen without needing a Yodeck player or any hardware. You only have to fill the playlist with the media of your choice and then click the Preview button. The preview will follow the playlist's media sequence. You cannot skip or fast forward/backward the content. In other words, you will be able to see exactly what is being shown on your TV screen in the same way you would view that content if you had a Yodeck Player connected to your screen.

Layout Preview

You can see how your playlist will display on the TV screen without the need for a Yodeck player or any hardware. The only thing you have to do is finalize your layout with the media of your choice and then click the Preview button.

Allowing pop-ups

Your browser might block the pop-up when you click the Preview button. Please click the " Options" button and click " Allow pop-ups for app.yodeck.com."

Live Screenshots

If you have already registered a Yodeck player to your account, the Yodeck player will send a fresh screenshot to your account every 30-40 seconds. In that way, you can check what is actually being displayed on the TV screen.


Bear in mind that when you log out of your account, the player will send one screenshot per hour to save some bandwidth! When you log in again and navigate to the monitor's view, as shown below, the player will start generating screenshots again every 30-40 seconds.
