Rotate a Digital Signage Screen

Digital signage screen rotation lets you switch a screen between horizontal (landscape) and vertical (portrait) from the EasySignage management console, without touching the device.

Before you begin

• The screen must be online. The Rotate option is unavailable while the screen is offline.
• The screen’s player software must support remote rotation. If the dialog shows Update your player software to be able to rotate your screen remotely, update the player software first.

Rotate a screen

1. In the left sidebar, select Screens.
2. On the screen’s row, click the Screen Details (gear) icon.

3. In Screen Details, click More, and then click Rotate.

4. In the Rotate Screen dialog, open the Orientation list and choose an orientation:
   • Horizontal: 0 degrees
   • Vertical: 90 degrees
   • Horizontal Flipped: 180 degrees
   • Vertical Flipped: 270 degrees
5. Click Save.

The rotate command is sent to the screen, and the screen rotates to the selected orientation.

What happens next

When you rotate a screen between horizontal and vertical, its type changes too. Horizontal and vertical playlists are separate, so you need to change the screen’s content to match the new orientation.

In the Source column, click the screen’s current source (or Set Screen Content) and assign a playlist, channel, group or schedule that matches the new orientation.
