All the photos and videos you find, and use in your digital signage content, from Pixabay, are royalty-free, so you don’t have to worry about who owns the rights. If you are using photos or video from Google or generally from the internet you may find materials that are protected and therefore not for free use.

Pixabay works like Unsplash and Giphy providing you with amazing content.

  • Muted – Plays video without sound
  • Always on top – By default the video will be rendered on top of other elements for smoother playback.
    • Yes – This option is recommended for all entry-level players as they can struggle when having to render the entire canvas for every video frame.
    • No – Video will respect the layers and other elements can be moved on top of the video. This requires a mid-level player as the entire canvas has to be rendered for every frame of video.
    • Yes (native) – This option will be the default for 4K videos. On Android devices it will launch Android’s native video player at the position of the video, non-android devices behave the same as with the ‘yes’ option. Please refer to the 4K limitations on the Android section in the FAQ.
  • Positioning – Change the position of the video (Or simply drag and drop it)

What content do I find on Pixabay?

Pixabay is free stock videos and free pictures or images. For videos, you will find short movies (Called films) usually below 60 sec. duration and with various themes. You also find animations in videos, these are short animation videos either made from photos, drawings, etc. In images, you find photos, illustrations, and vectors.

My Pixabay video is showing a striped image instead.

Pixabay placeholder image
If Pixabay servers have trouble loading the thumbnail for the video in the editor, they return a placeholder image instead. Do not worry, the actual video will still play in the preview and also in your player, simply the thumbnail for the video did not load, and the thumbnail is only used in the editor.
