New PlaySignage Features: Enhanced Text Effects, PWA App, Dashboard Updates & More

At PlaySignage, we continue to enhance our platform with new features designed to improve usability, customization, and efficiency. In this update, we are excited to introduce text styling for the Weather plugin, a Progressive Web App (PWA) launch, dashboard and screen group filtering updates, bulk alert editing, QR code integration, and more!

Text Styling: Stroke & Shadow Effects in Weather Plugin

We have added stroke and shadow options for text in the Weather plugin, allowing for better customization and visibility of weather-based signage.

Key Benefits:

Improve readability with text shadow effects. Enhance contrast with text stroke outlines. Create more visually appealing weather displays.

This feature ensures that your weather updates remain clear and engaging, regardless of the background image or color.

Preserve Size Option for Images

Adding images to the canvas just got easier! With the Preserve Size option in default values, images will now maintain their original proportions when placed in your design.

Why It Matters:

• Prevents unintended resizing of images.
• Ensures consistent aspect ratios across designs.
• Saves time by eliminating manual adjustments.

Dashboard & Screen Management Enhancements

We’ve updated the /dashboard for a more intuitive experience and added a group filter in /screens to help users manage multiple displays more effectively.

New Enhancements:

Easier navigation in the dashboard. Group filtering makes organizing screens more efficient. Improved user interface for better management of signage networks.

These changes help large-scale deployments and teams stay organized with better control over their screens and content.

Official Launch of the PlaySignage PWA App

We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of our Progressive Web App (PWA), providing an improved experience across devices.

PWA App Benefits:

Faster loading times for seamless interaction. Works across desktop and mobile devices. No need for an app store download—install directly from your browser.

Enhanced Library & Alert Management

Find Where a File is Used

Now, you can see where a file is used in PlaySignage, making it easier to track and manage media assets.

Avoid accidental deletions by checking all instances where an image, video, or file is in use.

Bulk Alert Editing & Business Hour Restrictions

Edit multiple alerts at once, saving time on managing notifications. Set alert limits outside normal business hours, ensuring only essential alerts appear when needed.

QR Code Integration on Link Screen Page

A QR code has been added to the Link Screen page, making it easier to quickly connect and manage devices.

Simply scan the QR code to link your screen without typing in codes manually.

Seamless Team Switching in My.PlaySignage.com

We’ve added the option to switch between teams from any page in My.PlaySignage.com, making team management more fluid and efficient.

Why These Updates Matter

With enhanced text styling, streamlined media management, improved team collaboration, and an official PWA launch, PlaySignage continues to evolve for a better user experience. These features make digital signage more powerful, efficient, and easy to manage.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, happy signage!
