Keep your audience informed with the powerful News plugin in Play Digital Signage. Easily add news from popular sources or your own RSS feed, then customize layout, rotation speed, images, QR codes, and more.
The News plugin in Play Digital Signage lets you display dynamic, up-to-date news content directly on your screens. It pulls the latest headlines, summaries, and images automatically so your digital signage stays fresh and relevant without manual updates.

In the News plugin, use the search bar to find any news source (BBC, CBC, ESPN, Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Fox News, NBC News, ABC News, Bloomberg, Google News, or New York Times). Select the source you want, then customize the layout, number of articles, rotation interval, and other settings. The news will start updating automatically.
