Web pages, HTML and YouTube on the same screen

Three content types, one program

A web page item opens an address inside a zone on the screen. An intranet notice portal, a production board or the web screen of your queue system can be shown this way. An HTML item plays short HTML content that you write yourself.

A YouTube item plays a single video or a whole playlist. If you keep your promo films on your channel, you do not need to upload the files separately.

• Web page: enter the address and it opens in the zone
• HTML: write or paste your own content
• YouTube: a video or a playlist
• Side by side with images, videos and widgets in the same program

How to add them

1. Add a new item in a folder and choose its type: web page, HTML or YouTube.
2. Enter the address, the HTML code or the YouTube link.
3. Set date and time rules if needed.
4. Link the folder to a zone and deploy.

Internet and network needs

Web page and YouTube items need the screen to reach that address at that moment. If the internet drops, images, videos and widgets keep playing, but YouTube and external web pages cannot be shown until the connection returns. For a page on your internal network, the screen only needs access to that network.

Good to know

Some websites refuse to be shown inside another page. Test the page on a real screen before going live. On devices with an old browser engine, modern sites may not display properly; on Android devices an up-to-date WebView is recommended.

Touch and interactive kiosk use is not ready today; it can be built for your installation. Direct integration with queue ticket systems can be planned the same way. Today you can already show the queue screen as a web page zone.

If your own HTML loads fonts, images or scripts from outside sources, make sure the screen can reach those addresses too; otherwise the page will look incomplete.
