Beta - Create a new screen in PLAYipp

Before You Start

When creating a new screen, you can choose to organize it using sections and groups:

• Sections act as folders to create structure among your screens
• Groups are used if you want to publish content to multiple screens at the same time

Both of these are optional but can facilitate the management of your screens. If you want to learn more:

Done! Your new screen is now created and ready to use! You can now start publishing content to it by selecting it in the screen overview.

Next Steps

Now that the screen is created in the system, you can start publishing content to it. Please note that no physical screen is connected yet - the screen you have created is only a digital screen in the system.

To display the content on an actual screen, you need to:

1. Connect a physical screen/display
2. Link it to the digital screen you just created
