About
Slide conditions decide when and where a single slide plays: only between two dates, at set times every day, on certain weekdays, on certain screens or tags, or only when the player is online or offline. Without conditions, every slide plays on every screen, all the time.
Get Started
In the editor: open the playlist, click the pencil on the slide, open Slide Conditions, add the condition, and click Save. Then publish.
Examples
Show a lunch menu from 12:00 to 14:00 every day
- Add a Time Range condition with a start and an end time
Show a birthday slide on one day, then delete it
- Add a Date and Time Range condition, for example 2 February from 00:00 to 23:59
- Tick Automatically delete this slide when this condition expires
The slide plays only that day and deletes itself afterwards. Future slides have a yellow dot.
Show a slide on some days of the week
- Add a Weekday condition and tick the days, for example Saturday and Sunday for a “closed this weekend” slide
Show a slide on some screens only
- Add a Screen condition and choose the screens
- Turn on Invert Condition to show it everywhere except those screens
For example: a weather slide for New York linked to the New York screen, and one for Berlin linked to the Berlin screen.
Show a slide on screens with a tag
- Give the screens a tag, for example “Vegas”
- Add a Tag condition with that tag
Hide a website slide when the player is offline
- Add a Network condition: play only when the player is online (or only when offline)
Add conditions to many slides at once
- Select the slides (hover and click Select) and click Edit Slides
- Scroll to Slide Conditions and add the conditions
- Tick Replace existing conditions to remove their old conditions; otherwise the new ones are added

FAQ
Will the slide start exactly at the time I set?
No. A time condition means the slide isn’t skipped during that time; it plays when its turn comes. To show content at an exact time, use scheduling.
Can I combine a time and a screen condition?
Yes. Add both: for example, every day from 10:00 to 11:00, on the screens you choose.
How do I find slides that only play in the future?
They have a yellow dot in the row of slides.
What do the green and red condition icons mean?
Green: the slide has conditions and plays now. Red: none of its conditions match now, so it’s skipped. See Slides.
