Published on by Victoria Harper

Version 1.20 is another big release, including our brand-new public API.

Tags: take over screens in one click

Tags let you prepare other content for some or all of your screens, and switch to it for as long as you need. For example, create an emergency playlist that tells people to leave the building. If an emergency happens, activate the tag with a few clicks and every tagged screen shows it.

Public API

Want to control your screens from your own systems? The public API lets you manage tags and send commands to screens programmatically. That opens the door to linking your screens with security systems, RFID readers, face recognition or emergency systems, which can activate a tag automatically.

Member of several teams

Some organisations need more than one team: because of the number of screens and locations, or one team per country. A user can now be a member of several teams and switch between them.
