How do I set what gets displayed?
Within Yodeck, there are 3 simple concepts:
- Media, which are things that you create or upload to Yodeck and get displayed, like image files, video files, YouTube links or web site addresses. You
can use media as a
default
content for your monitors.
- Playlists, which are a collection of media that gets displayed one after the other, with a duration that you specify (e.g. to create an image slideshow or video playlist)You
can set playlists as your default content on your monitors.
- Layouts, which are a composition of playlists placed on a virtual monitor (e.g. a full-screen image slideshow with a video playing on one corner) which
is where you
create
the layout on a virtual monitor for the media, playlists and other
files you want displayed. Layouts are a collection of files or widgets
you want displayed together.
After you create your layouts, you can assign a layouts as a Default Content to each of your monitors.
