Your content
Beautifully designed in the Play Digital Signage editor
Show off your brand without leaving our editor
We want you to create beautiful content and to do that you’ll need tools like the ones you recognize from Powerpoint, Notes, and other presentations software. We give you tools like text editor, shapes, emoticons, images and photos, and much more. Go to sign up and try it out yourself.
Be in control of everything.
Create a Team
Our teams feature allows you to create a team for your project. Assign team member’s roles and let everything play their part in the design and management of your digital sign.
Use zones
Showcase different content on one screen by splitting it into different zones. Each zone will play independently of each other. Having trouble setting up your zones? Use one of our predefined templates.
File Conversion
No matter what format your content is in, our file conversion feature is sure to convert it, no additional software required.
It works offline too!
Once your content is designed and published, it is stored on your TV’s media player. This means you can play your content with no internet connection.
Alerts & Notifications
If for some reason your screens go offline, get notified right away. Set up alerts and notifications for as many team members as you like.
Screen Capture
Need to take a picture of what’s on your screen? We have a built-in screen capture feature!
Analytics (Proof of Play)
These days data is king. We all want to know statistics. After all, it plays a vital role in business. Play Digital Signage provides analytics such as total run time for all of your screens in several different report formats. (This feature is only available for paid users).
Language Options
Some things are just easier in our native language. We support English, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, German, Danish, and Estonian.
Tags
Tags enable you to set up alternative scenarios involving any or all of your screens. As an example, you could create a fire emergency playlist that would direct people to evacuate immediately.
Scheduling
With digital signage, you have the opportunity to plan your content throughout the day or for specific dates and date ranges. You might find it useful that you can plan targeted content during the morning, something entirely different throughout the day, and something targeted again in the afternoon. You can easily figure out how your schedules define the content on the screens using our timeline – It’s a live tool that will tell you what is going on right now and in the future.
Music
Break the silence by adding music to your playlist! There’s even a pause function for when you have a video playing.
Animations
Bring your content to life with animations. Animate any element on your slides. Zoom, fade, rotate… and so many more!
Stashing Slides
Want to reuse a slide in a different playlist without having to recreate it? You can stash your slides and use them later. Use slides from your stash in any playlist.
Custom fonts
If you don’t like the fonts we’ve added for you, simply upload your favorite custom fonts.
Remotely manage your player
Change settings on your media player from anywhere on our web portal. See download progress, timezone, resolution, and much more all in real-time.
Template Designs
Choose one of our free, professionally designed templates when you create a playlist. Is there something you don’t like about the template you chose? They can all be edited to fit your liking!
Automatic Updates
You won’t have to break a sweat, we’ll keep your players fast, secure, and up to date with all of the latest features.
Audit Log
Inspect the history of your team and account events using our audit log feature. See exactly who did what and when in an easy to see the layout.
Two-Factor Authentication
We add an extra layer of security when you log in to your Play Digital Signage account. After entering your username and password, having another method of identity confirmation keeps anyone who shouldn’t be in your account, out.
Azure and OKTA Active Directory
To make your life as easy as possible we offer both Azure and OKTA active directory. With help from Azure and OKTA, organizations can manage employee access to our app via their AD dashboard. You can sign in using your personal Microsoft account, too.
Support for Video Wall and LED Screens
We support any screen. No matter if you have an old plasma, an entire video wall, or a huge LED screen, we’ve got you! (This feature is only available for paid users).
