Screens’ Settings sets how all the screens in your account behave: the password for the settings on the screen, default brightness, daily restarts, refreshes, syncing, notifications, downloads and status reports.
To open it, click Settings at the bottom of the menu on the left, then Screens’ Settings.
Each change is saved as soon as you make it (the password with Save). It reaches your screens the next time you publish: click Publish at the top of the page.
Password
The password that opens the settings page on the screen itself.
- Click the eye icon to show the current password.
- To change it, type the new password (4 to 50 characters) and click Save.
Brightness Management
The default brightness for the screens in your account. Click Settings to set it by hand or on a weekly schedule. See Set default brightness for all screens .
Daily Restart
Tick Daily Restart and set the time, in 24-hour format, at which the screens restart every day. The time is each screen’s own time.
Refresh Player
Tick Refresh Player and choose how often the player app on the screens refreshes itself: from every hour up to every 12 hours.
Local Sync
Tick Local Sync to keep playlist playback in step across screens, including video walls, using each device’s own clock. The screens still need an internet connection.
Screen Notifications
Tick Screen Notifications to show notifications on the screens, for example about media downloads.
Limited Media Download
Use this with schedules when you do not want screens to download all the media of a schedule at once, for example with many playlists or large files. Tick Limited Media download to only download the default playlist and the playlists scheduled for today and tomorrow. The downloads update every day: old media is removed and the next day’s media is added.
