We’ve worked on it for months, and with version 1.17 it’s here: analytics, also called proof of play.
Analytics (proof of play)
Analytics collects data from your players and gives you playback reports: which files were shown, on which screens, and how often. Use it to show advertisers their ads really played, or to see which content runs the most.
YouTube captions
If a YouTube video has captions, you can now turn them on in the editor. Useful in busy or quiet places where sound is off.
Animated GIFs
Finally! Use animated GIFs to get your message across, loud and clear.
More languages
The web portal now also speaks German, Spanish and Estonian. The translations come from our community: if you’d like to help translate Play into your language, write to hello@playsignage.com.
