About
A line of moving text across any slide, for news, offers or messages. Type the text yourself; no feed needed. Set the font, size, speed and direction. To show headlines from a news feed instead, use the RSS Ticker.
Get Started
Everything here starts in the editor: go to Playlists, open your playlist and choose the slide. When you’re done, click Publish.
Add a ticker to a slide
- Click Plugins, search for Ticker and click its tile
- Click it on the slide and type your text in the settings on the right
Change the speed and direction
- Click the ticker
- Set Speed (slow, normal, fast, or 5 to 55 seconds to cross the screen) and Direction (left or right)
Match the ticker to your design
- Click the ticker
- Set the Font and Font size (1 to 200 px)
Keep a ticker inside its zone
- Click the ticker
- Set Always on top to Auto
The text then stays within its own zone, for example when two zones are side by side.

FAQ
Why is the ticker jerky?
Moving text takes a lot of power, so a low-powered player may stutter. Try a slower speed. Always on top: No takes three times as much power as Yes.
