## Why Media Playback Quota?

EasySignage's Media Playback Quota feature gives advertisers and content managers full control over how often media plays. Set total and daily caps, monitor counts in real time, and let the system stop playback automatically, perfect for paid ad slots, limited promotions, and campaign frequency management.

### Automatic Playback Cap

Define a maximum play count per media file. Once the quota is reached, the system stops scheduling that content automatically across all screens.

### Daily Limits

Set a daily playback cap in addition to the total quota, giving you precise control over how often content plays each day.

### Real-Time Monitoring

Track how many times each media file has played globally across all screens, with counts refreshed every 5 minutes via proof of play reports.
