When connecting a new device to your account, it will be empty. You need to publish the first campaign or playlist, so as to reach the audience with relevant content.
Depending on your signage setup, there may be content that is common for all devices. In this case, you can publish it while setting up the screen to the first time. Of course, you can also setup this basic content after you have connected multiple devices on the platform as well by adjusting the player settings.
Requirements:
In order to use this tool, you must:
- Create a player group
- Publish all player basic content to it.
Setting up player groups is a way of grouping screens that usually receive same media files, so as to simplify content publishing. All player that belong to a player group will download content that has been published to it.
The idea of a default player group is that you indicate on player setup to which group the device belongs. This way, the new player inherits content from group and download it automatically. You won't need to to modify player group and add a new player to it every time you expand your network.
For instance, in this tutorial we will setup the content that should be featured throughout an Inn's network: all screens should display, no matter their location, information about the city's attractions and images of amenities.
