Upload MP4/WebM files and play them full-screen or inside a zone next to a ticker and a clock. Videos loop or advance the slide when they end, can play muted or with sound, and are downloaded to the Android player in advance so playback never stutters.

What it does

  • Loop, or move to the next slide when the video ends
  • Muted or with sound (browsers unmute after the first tap; kiosks can autoplay)
  • Fit cover/contain, rounded corners, multiple videos per playlist
  • Prefetched on Android so offline screens keep playing

  3. 3Fill in the settings in the inspector, pick a design and press Publish — the screen updates within a second.
