BETA - Publish clock & date on screen via widget

This article is intended for users who are part of PLAYipp's beta program. The features and functionality described here are currently being tested and may differ from what is available in the standard version of PLAYipp.
If you would like to become part of the beta program, please contact support@playipp.com or your contact person at PLAYipp.

The clock & date widget allows you to display current time and date information on your digital screens. You can choose between a single clock display or a multi-timezone view, making it ideal for offices with international connections or locations that need to show time in different parts of the world.

The widget offers full customization of what information to display, along with options to adjust colors and fonts to match your brand or environment.

Important to note: The time source depends on your screen hardware. LG and Samsung screens use the time and date set directly on the screen itself, while all other screen types automatically sync with PLAYipp's servers. Make sure your screen's time settings are correct before adding the widget.
