Why Playback Times?

EasySignage's Playback Times feature (previously called Media Lifetime) lets you control exactly when content appears and disappears on your screens. Set date and time ranges per layer, schedule weekly recurrences, and let the system handle the rest, ideal for promotions, seasonal campaigns, and time-sensitive content.
