Using Apps

Learn how to browse, install, and configure ready-made apps for your screens and playlists.

Overview

The Apps marketplace is a collection of pre-built applications and widgets you can add directly to your screens and playlists. Apps act as dynamic content sources — news feeds, social media, weather, calendars, dashboards, and more — that update automatically with live data, so you don't have to build or maintain that content by hand.

Accessing the Apps Marketplace

Log in to your Castit account
Click Apps in the left sidebar navigation
Browse the marketplace of available apps

Browsing and Filtering

Sort, Show, and View

Sort by: Order the list (e.g. by Name), with an arrow to toggle ascending/descending
Show: Filter by installation status
View: Switch between Grid and List view with the toggle in the top-right

Search

Use the search bar at the top to find an app by name.

Each app card shows the app's logo, name, and a status badge — N INSTANCE if it's installed (and how many instances you've configured) or NOT INSTALLED if it isn't yet.

note

Available apps can change over time — check the New and Updated categories for the latest additions and improvements.

Installing an App

Installing an app takes only a few clicks:

Open Apps in the left sidebar
Click an app card to open its details

Review the App info and Last updated date
Click Install app (or Close to go back)

You can also install directly from the card's ⋮ menu — on a not-installed app it offers App info and Install app.

Once installed, the card's badge updates to 1 INSTANCE, and the card's ⋮ menu changes to offer Create instance, App info, Add to favorites, and Uninstall app.

tip

Apps marked NOT INSTALLED must be installed before you can configure them or use them in screens and playlists.

Configuring an App with Instances

An app instance is a configured version of an app. Multiple instances let you display the same app with different settings — for example, one Weather instance for London and another for Amsterdam.

Creating an Instance

Open Apps and click an installed app
If it has no instances yet, you'll see "You haven't used this app yet." — click Create new app instance (or use New app instance in the top bar)

Instance Settings

Every app instance uses the same two-part layout:

Left – Settings

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when played (default 15)
App-specific settings: Vary by app — for example, the Big Clock app offers a background image or video, a city, and a weather API source

Right – Live preview

The preview panel shows how the app will look on screen, updating as you change settings.

Click Save changes to apply. Use Delete app instance (top-right) to remove this instance, or Delete app to uninstall the app entirely.

note

Some apps need extra setup — signing in to an external service, entering an API key, or providing a URL.

Managing Instances

When an app has instances, each appears as a card with its duration badge. Hover a card and use its ⋮ menu to:

Preview: See a full-screen preview of the instance

Edit: Reopen the instance settings
Delete: Remove the instance

Using Apps in Your Content

Once an app instance is configured, add it to screens and playlists like any other content.

Adding to a Screen

Open Screens in the left sidebar
Select or create a screen
Add the app instance to the screen's content
Set its display duration
Save the screen

Adding to a Playlist

Open Playlists in the left sidebar
Create or edit a playlist
Add the app instance as a playlist item
Set its duration and order
Save the playlist

note

Apps are dynamic content — they refresh automatically with live data (news, weather, social media) without manual updates.

Managing Installed Apps

Favorites

Mark frequently used apps as favorites from a card's ⋮ menu (Add to favorites), then find them under the Your favorites category.

Uninstalling an App

Uninstall from the card's ⋮ menu (Uninstall app), or open the app and use Delete app in the top bar.

warning

Uninstalling an app affects any screens or playlists currently using its instances.

App Setup Guides

Step-by-step setup for individual apps. Each guide covers the app-specific settings beyond the standard install-and-create-an-instance flow described above. Install the app and create an instance first, then follow the relevant guide.

Birthday Congratulation

The Birthday Congratulation app automatically displays a personalized greeting (a name, photo, and message) on the day of each person's birthday. You build a list of people once, and the app shows the right slide on the right day. On days when no one has a birthday, the app shows nothing, so it's safe to leave running on a screen or in a playlist year-round.

Step 1: Configure the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance (helpful if you run more than one, for example one per department or location)
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows in total when it plays (default 15)
Primary Color: The accent color used for the slide (the bar and highlights). Click the swatch or type a hex value (e.g. #90d8fc)
Secondary Color: The secondary slide color (e.g. #ffffff)
Slide Duration (seconds): How long each individual birthday slide shows before moving to the next, for days when more than one person has a birthday (default 5)

When you're happy with these, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

tip

The Duration is the total time the app occupies in a screen or playlist, while Slide Duration is the time per person. If three people share a birthday, set the Duration high enough to give each slide its turn.

Step 2: Add people to the birthday list

Open the Data table tab (or click Manage your data under the settings). Each row is one person.

To add someone:

Click the + button to add a new row
Name (required): Type the person's name. This appears on the slide
Birthday (required): Click the calendar icon and pick the date. Use Today to jump to the current month, or Clear to reset
Content: Type the congratulatory message that appears next to the name. You can format it with bold, italic, and lists
File: Add a photo or video for the slide. Choose Upload to add a new file (jpg, png, gif, webp, mp4, mpeg, mov, avi), Library to pick existing media, or Stock for a stock image

Repeat for everyone you want to include, then click Save changes (top-right) to store the list.

note

Only Name and Birthday are required. If you leave out the photo or message, the app still shows a greeting with the details you provided.

Managing the list in bulk

For large lists, use the buttons at the top of the Data table:

Import table: Bring in many people at once from a file instead of adding rows by hand
Export CSV: Download the current list, handy as a backup or to edit externally and re-import

Remember to click Save changes after importing.

Step 3: Check the preview and use the app

The preview panel on the Settings tab shows how a slide will look. On a day with no matching birthday it reads "No birthdays today"; on a matching day it renders the name, photo, and message with your chosen colors.

Once the list is saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The app handles the rest, and each person's slide appears automatically on their birthday.

tip

Set this app up once on an always-on screen or in a recurring playlist and it will keep celebrating birthdays all year with no further work. Just keep the list up to date and Save changes whenever you edit it.

Big Clock

The Big Clock app shows a large, easy-to-read clock with the current time, and the local temperature, over a background of your choice. It's a simple way to fill a screen with something useful and good-looking, and it updates the time and weather automatically.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview that updates as you change them.

Start with:

Name: A label for this instance (helpful if you run more than one, for example one per location)
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Choose a background

Pick the look of the clock screen. You can use either a background image or a background video, not both:

Background Image: Click one of the preset images in the grid. The first (blank) option means no image
Background Video: Scroll down past the images to the video grid and click a preset video for an animated background. The first (blank) option means no video

The live preview shows your choice right away, with the time and temperature laid over it.

tip

A video background looks lively but uses more of the player's resources and needs a stable connection. If a screen ever looks sluggish, switch to a still image.

Step 3: Set the city and weather source

Scroll down to Clock Settings to control the temperature reading:

City: Type the city whose local time and weather you want to show (for example, Rotterdam)
Weather API: Choose the weather source, either Yahoo or OpenWeatherMap. If the temperature ever looks wrong or stops updating, try the other source

When everything looks right in the preview, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The temperature is pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to keep it current. The clock itself follows the city you set.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The time and temperature keep updating on their own, so there's nothing more to maintain. If you later change the background, city, or weather source, remember to click Save changes again.

Buienradar

The Buienradar app shows a live precipitation and weather radar map for the Netherlands or Belgium. It's a familiar, at-a-glance way to show local rain and weather conditions, and the map animates and refreshes on its own.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the radar map.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance (helpful if you run more than one, for example one for each region)
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)
Background Image: Optionally pick a preset background from the small grid. The first (blank) option means no background

Step 2: Choose the region

Under Buienradar settings, set the Region dropdown to either Netherlands or Belgium. The radar map and coverage follow your choice, and the preview updates to match.

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The radar map is pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to keep it current.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The map keeps animating and refreshing on its own. If you later change the region or background, remember to click Save changes again.

Canva

The Canva app puts your Canva designs straight onto your screens. You connect your Canva account, pick a design, and it appears on screen, staying in sync with Canva so that when you update the design there, the screen updates too.

Step 1: Connect your Canva account

When you first open a Canva instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in to Canva and authorize the connection when prompted
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Canva

note

You need a Canva account with the design you want to show. The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Set the basic settings and choose a design

Once connected, the Canva settings appear.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows in total when it plays
Choose Design: Click the dropdown and search for the design you want to display, then select it
Slide duration: For a design with multiple pages, how long each page shows before moving to the next (default 10). This does not apply to videos inside the design

After choosing a design, click Save changes at the bottom-right. Saving also triggers a sync with Canva, and the preview then renders your design.

tip

Changes you make to the design in Canva update on screen automatically, but it can take up to an hour. To apply an update right away, come back to this screen and click Save changes to sync manually.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved and synced, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The design stays linked to Canva, so you keep editing in Canva and the screen follows. Whenever you switch to a different design or change the slide duration, remember to click Save changes again.

Facebook

The Facebook app shows photos and posts from your Facebook page on screen. You connect your account, pick a page, and choose how many recent posts to show, and the app keeps pulling in new posts as you publish them.

warning

The Facebook account you connect must be a Facebook Business account with a Page. Personal accounts cannot be connected and will fail to link.

Step 1: Connect your Facebook account

When you first open a Facebook instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in to Facebook and authorize the connection when prompted
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Facebook

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Set the basic settings and choose a page

Once connected, the Facebook settings appear, and the preview shows a post from your page.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
Number of posts: How many recent posts to cycle through
Page: Choose which of your Facebook pages to show posts from

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The app refreshes on its own as you publish new posts, so there's nothing more to maintain. If you later change the page or the number of posts, remember to click Save changes again.

Flickr

The Flickr app turns a Flickr user's photos into a photo channel on your screen. There's no account to connect, you simply point it at a Flickr user and it shows their photos, refreshing as new ones are posted.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the photo channel.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 60)

Step 2: Point it at a Flickr user

Under Flickr Settings, fill in:

Flickr User Identifier: Identify whose photos to show. You can enter a Flickr profile URL (for example https://www.flickr.com/photos/username/), the user's email, or their Flickr user ID
Number of images to show: How many photos to include, between 5 and 20

When the preview shows the right photos, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The app shows the user's public photos and needs an internet connection on the player to load them.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The channel keeps updating on its own as new photos are posted. If you later change the user or the number of images, remember to click Save changes again.

Image of the Week

The Image of the Week app shows a different photo for each calendar week of the year. You set one image per week (weeks 1 through 53), and the player automatically shows the right one for the current week, switching on its own as the weeks roll over.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the current week's image.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)
Light Logo / Dark Logo (optional): Click Choose file to overlay your logo on the image. Provide both so the right version shows depending on the image's background

Step 2: Add an image for each week

Scroll down to Images of the week. The preview shows the image for the current week, and the section explains that the player picks one picture per calendar week.

Open the Data table tab, or click Manage your data under this section
For each week (1 through 53), add or replace the image you want to show
Choose Upload to add a new file, Library to pick existing media, or Stock for a stock image

Any week you leave empty falls back to the default image. When you're done, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

tip

You don't have to fill in all 53 weeks at once. Set the weeks you care about now, and update the rest later. Just remember to click Save changes each time you make changes.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The player shows the correct image for the current week and moves to the next week's image automatically, so there's nothing more to do until you want to change a week's picture.

Power BI

The Power BI app casts your Power BI reports and dashboards to your screens. You connect your Microsoft account, pick the report or dashboard you want, and choose how it's presented, and it stays connected to Power BI so the data stays current.

Step 1: Connect your Microsoft account

When you first open a Power BI instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in with the Microsoft account that has access to your Power BI content and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Microsoft

note

Connect a Microsoft account that already has access to the reports or dashboards you want to show. The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Choose what to display

Once connected, the Power BI settings appear, and the preview shows your selected content.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
Choose type of data to display: Pick Report or Dashboard
Report / Dashboard: From the dropdown, select the specific report or dashboard you want on screen

Step 3: Set the display options

Scroll down to fine-tune how the content is shown.

Virtual keyboard: Show an on-screen keyboard for input fields. Useful for touch screens (box players only)
Enable filters: Show or hide the Power BI filters panel
Enable navigation bar: Show or hide the page navigation bar
Automatic rotation: Automatically rotate between the report's pages. The time on each page depends on the report duration and the number of pages

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The report data is pulled live from Power BI, so the player needs an internet connection to keep it current.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The report stays linked to Power BI and keeps showing current data. If you later switch reports or change any display option, remember to click Save changes again.

PowerPoint Viewer

The PowerPoint Viewer app turns a PowerPoint presentation into digital signage content. There are two ways to use it: paste a public embed URL without signing in, or connect your Microsoft account and pick a presentation directly. The connected method also lets you control how slides advance and what navigation aids appear.

Option A: Use an embed URL (no account needed)

When you first open a PowerPoint Viewer instance and don't connect an account, the PowerPoint Settings show an Embed URL field.

In PowerPoint (or Office on the web), create an embed link for your presentation. The field includes a link to Microsoft's instructions for finding the embed link
Paste it into Embed URL
Set the Name and Duration (seconds)
Click Save changes

Option B: Connect your Microsoft account

Connecting lets you choose a presentation from your account and unlocks the navigation options.

Step 1: Connect

Click Connect on the Not Connected card
Sign in with your Microsoft account and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Microsoft

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Choose the presentation

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
PowerPoint presentation: Select the presentation you want from the dropdown
Slide duration (seconds): How long each slide shows before advancing (default 10)

Navigation mode: Automatic advances slides on its own; On click (Manual) waits for a tap or click (useful for touch screens)
Show navigation buttons: Show or hide the on-screen previous/next buttons
Show page number: Show or hide the current slide number

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

tip

Changes you make to the presentation in the cloud update on screen automatically, but it can take up to 15 minutes to appear on the player.

Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). Whenever you switch presentations or change any option, remember to click Save changes again.

Quote of the Day

The Quote of the Day app shows a rotating selection of inspirational quotes on your screen. The app supplies the quotes, so there's nothing to write or maintain. You just choose how many rotate and in which language.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of a quote.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Choose the quote options

Under Quote of the day Settings, set:

Quotes limit: How many quotes to cycle through (default 10)
Language: The language the quotes appear in

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The quotes rotate on their own, so there's nothing more to maintain. If you later change the quotes limit or language, remember to click Save changes again.

RSS Tickertape

The RSS Tickertape app shows a scrolling text bar (a "ticker") along the bottom of your screen, like the news crawls you see on TV. It can pull headlines from one or more RSS feeds, show your own custom text, or both, and you control how it slides in and how it looks.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview with the ticker running along the bottom.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)
Display on following screens (optional): Search for and select tags to target specific screens. Leave it empty to use the instance normally in any screen or playlist

Step 2: Add your feeds and text

Open the RSS Feeds and Custom Text section and build what the ticker shows:

Add Additional RSS URL: Add the web address of an RSS feed. Add more than one to combine several sources in the same ticker
Add Custom Text: Add your own message to scroll alongside (or instead of) the feeds

Step 3: Choose how it slides in

Open the Viewing Options section and pick the animation:

Slide in from right: The ticker slides in from the right edge
Slide in from bottom: The ticker slides up from the bottom
Move from right: The text scrolls continuously from the right

Step 4: Style the ticker

Open the More Options section to control the look.

Font size: Size of the ticker text
Font padding: Spacing around the text
Font color: Text color (swatch or hex value)
Background color: Color of the ticker bar (swatch or hex value)
Background transparency: How see-through the bar is (0 to 100)
Font uppercase: Show all text in capitals

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

RSS feeds are pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to keep the headlines current.

Step 5: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The ticker keeps scrolling and refreshing on its own. If you later change the feeds, text, or styling, remember to click Save changes again.

The LinkedIn app puts your company's LinkedIn page and its latest posts on screen, a simple way to promote your organization and share your activity. You connect your account, choose which company page to show, and set how many posts to display.

warning

This app only works with LinkedIn business (organization) pages. You must be an admin of a LinkedIn Company Page. Personal or private profiles are not supported and cannot be connected.

Step 1: Connect your LinkedIn account

When you first open a LinkedIn instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in to LinkedIn with an account that is an admin of the Company Page you want to show, and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Linkedin

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Choose the organization and posts

Once connected, the LinkedIn settings appear, and the preview shows your page.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
Organization: Choose which LinkedIn Company Page to display posts from
Number of posts: How many recent posts to show, between 1 and 10

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The app refreshes on its own as you publish new posts, so there's nothing more to maintain. If you later change the organization or the number of posts, remember to click Save changes again.

Room Booking

The Room Booking app turns a screen or e-paper panel outside a meeting room into a live booking display. It shows whether the room is free or busy, what's coming up next, and lets people book it on the spot by scanning the on-screen QR code. It reads the room's calendar from Microsoft 365, so the panel always reflects real bookings.

Step 1: Connect your Microsoft account

When you first open a Room Booking instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in with the Microsoft account that has access to the room's calendar and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Microsoft

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Set up the room

Once connected, the Room Configuration section appears, along with a live preview of the room panel.

Start with the basics, then the room configuration:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
Where do you want to use Room Booking?: This dropdown is the most important choice. It sets the device type the booking panel runs on, and you pick either Digital Signage (Castit) or an e-paper device. Choose the one that matches the hardware mounted at the room
Screen: Select the screen mounted at this room. The booking panel automatically appears on it
Room Name: The title shown at the top of the room panel (for example, Future Forward Office Board)
Language: The language of all texts on the panel (status, booking popup, messages)

Step 3: Set the booking options

Scroll down to Room Details & Booking Options to define when and how the room can be booked:

Slot length: The length of each bookable time slot. Visitors can book one or more back-to-back free slots
Business hours start / Business hours end: The first and last bookable slot of the day, in the room's local 24-hour time (HH:MM)
Business days: The days of the week the room can be booked. Slots are only offered on these days
Room Equipment & Facilities: What the room offers (TV, whiteboard, video conferencing, and so on), shown under the room name so visitors know what's inside
Capacity: The maximum number of people the room holds, shown next to the room name. This is auto-filled from Microsoft 365 when available. Leave it at 0 to hide it
Building / Floor: Auto-filled from the room resource in Microsoft 365. Override only if needed
Timezone: The timezone of the room's physical location. All meeting times on the panel are shown and booked in this timezone
Room Mailbox (UPN/SMTP): Filled automatically from the connected Microsoft account. Only change this when the room calendar is a different (shared or resource) mailbox that the connected account has access to
Hide private meeting titles: When enabled, meetings marked private or confidential in Outlook show as a generic "Meeting" on the panel instead of their real title

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

Room availability is read live from Microsoft 365, so the player or e-paper device needs an internet connection to stay accurate.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, the booking panel appears on the screen you selected. People passing by can see the room's status at a glance and scan the QR code to book it. Bookings made on the panel and changes made in Microsoft 365 keep each other in sync. If you later change any room setting, remember to click Save changes again.

Weather Forecast

The Weather Forecast app shows the local weather for a place you choose: the current conditions with a details panel (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction). It's the simpler of the two weather apps. If you also want a multi-hour forecast and a custom background, see Weather Forecast Application below.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the local weather.

Name: A label for this instance (helpful if you run more than one, for example one per location)
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Set the location, language, and units

Under the weather settings:

City: The city to show the weather for (for example, Rotterdam)
Country: The country the city is in (for example, Netherlands). Setting both makes sure the right location is matched
Language: The language of the text on the panel
Units: Choose Metric (°C, km/h) or Imperial (°F, mph)

When the preview shows the right place, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The weather is pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to keep it current.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The conditions keep updating on their own. If you later change the location or units, remember to click Save changes again.

Weather Forecast Application

The Weather Forecast Application shows the current weather and the forecast for the coming hours over a background of your choice. You set a location, and it keeps the conditions and forecast up to date on their own. For a simpler current-conditions-only version without backgrounds, see Weather Forecast above.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview that updates as you change them.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance (helpful if you run more than one, for example one per location)
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Choose a background

Pick the look of the weather screen. You can use either a background image or a background video, not both:

Background Image: Click one of the preset images in the grid. The first (blank) option means no image
Background Video: Scroll down past the images to the video grid and click a preset video for an animated background. The first (blank) option means no video

Step 3: Set the location, language, and units

Scroll down to Weather Forecast Settings:

City: The city to show the weather for (for example, Niš)
Country: The country the city is in (for example, Serbia). Setting both makes sure the right location is matched
Language: The language of the text on the panel
Units: Choose Metric (°C, km/h) or Imperial (°F, mph)

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The forecast is pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to keep it current.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The conditions and forecast keep updating on their own. If you later change the location, background, or units, remember to click Save changes again.

World Cup

The World Cup app shows a live tournament bracket with scores and updates. It rotates through the standings on its own, and when a match kicks off it switches to that live match, returning to the standings when the match ends. You choose the tournament and how it looks.

Step 1: Set the basic settings and competition

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the bracket.

Set the following:

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)
Competition: The tournament to follow. It defaults to the FIFA World Cup, but you can pick another tournament if needed

Step 2: Set the display behaviour

Under Display, control how the app reacts to live matches. Standings rotate automatically; when a match kicks off the screen switches to that live match, and when it ends the standings return. If several matches are live, the earliest kickoff is shown.

View: How the tournament is shown (for example, Bracket)
When no matches are live: What to show between matches (for example, Next-match countdown)

Step 3: Set the appearance and timezone

Scroll down to fine-tune the look and times.

Theme: The overall visual style (for example, Modern dark)
Accent colour: The highlight color used on the panel. Click the swatch or type a hex value (for example, #00e0c6)
Timezone: The timezone used for kickoff times, so match times show correctly for your location (for example, Europe/Amsterdam)

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

Scores and match status are pulled live, so the player needs an internet connection to stay current.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The bracket, scores, and live matches update on their own. If you later change the competition or any display option, remember to click Save changes again.

YouTube Embedded

The YouTube Embedded app plays a YouTube video on your screen. Setup is as simple as pasting a link, the app fills in the video's name and length for you.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview.

Name: A label for this instance. You can leave it as is, it fills in automatically once you add a link

Step 2: Paste the YouTube link

Under YouTube Video Settings, paste the video address into YouTube Video Link. You can use either format:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
https://youtu.be/...

As soon as you enter a valid link, the app retrieves the video's name and duration, and the preview starts playing it.

When the preview shows the right video, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The video streams from YouTube, so the player needs an internet connection to play it.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). To show a different video, paste a new link and click Save changes again.

LinkedIn Posts

The LinkedIn Posts app shows a feed of your company's latest LinkedIn posts on screen. It's closely related to the LinkedIn app: where LinkedIn shows your company page, LinkedIn Posts focuses on a running feed of your most recent posts. You connect your account, choose the company page, and set how many posts to show.

warning

This app only works with LinkedIn business (organization) pages. You must be an admin of a LinkedIn Company Page. Personal or private profiles are not supported and cannot be connected.

Step 1: Connect your LinkedIn account

When you first open a LinkedIn Posts instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in to LinkedIn with an account that is an admin of the Company Page you want to show, and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Linkedin

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

The feed refreshes on its own as you publish new posts, so there's nothing more to maintain. If you later change the organization or the number of posts, remember to click Save changes again.

Multi App

The Multi App combines several apps into one split-screen layout, so a single screen can show more than one thing at once, for example a clock, the weather, a quote, and an image side by side. You choose how to divide the screen, then pick which app fills each region.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview that fills in as you assign apps.

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Choose a layout

Under Multi App Settings, pick a Layout. Each option divides the screen a different way, for example two or three columns, or a 2x2 grid.

The layout you choose decides how many regions (fields) you'll fill and how they're arranged on screen.

Step 3: Assign an app to each field

Once you've picked a layout, a Field dropdown appears for each region. The fields are labeled by their position in the grid (for example, Field X:0 Y:0 is the top-left region, Field X:1 Y:1 is the bottom-right).

For each field, choose the app you want to show there. The preview tiles the apps together so you can see the whole screen come together.

note

The apps you assign here are the other apps available to you, such as Clock, Weather Forecast Application, Quote of the Day, and Image of the Week. Set up those apps the way you want them first, then place them into the Multi App layout.

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

Step 4: Use the app

Playlist Trigger Application

The Playlist Trigger Application plays a chosen playlist on a screen when a physical Nexmosphere sensor fires, for example when someone steps close to a display or lifts a product off a shelf. It's an automation tool rather than visible content, so it has no on-screen preview of its own. Use it to make screens react to what people do in front of them.

This is a technical app that assumes you have a compatible Nexmosphere sensor connected to the player and know its XTalk channel.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

Proximity distance: For a presence sensor, the distance in centimeters at which it triggers the playlist
XTalk channel: The XTalk channel the sensor uses to communicate with the controller. Enter the number only, with no leading 0
Should stop playlist: Choose Yes to stop the triggered playlist as soon as the sensor fires, or No to let it finish playing to the end

When everything is set, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to the screen or playlist where you want the trigger active (see Using Apps in Your Content). From then on, the sensor drives the chosen playlist automatically. If you later change the playlist, screen, sensor, or channel, remember to click Save changes again.

When the preview shows the right page, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The page loads live, so the player needs an internet connection. Some websites block being embedded; if a page shows blank, it may not allow embedding.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The page reloads and stays current on its own. To show a different site, change the URL and click Save changes again.

Website To Slide

The Website To Slide app captures a web page as an image and shows it as a slide, instead of embedding the live site. This is the better choice when a website refuses to be embedded, or when you want a clean, stable snapshot rather than a page that might scroll or change while it's on screen. It also gives you extra controls to dismiss cookie popups and wait for the page to finish loading before the snapshot is taken. Compare it with Website Embed Into Playlist, which shows the live page.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the captured page. A Preview ready badge and a last-updated time tell you when the snapshot was last refreshed.

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Point it at the page

Under Printscreen Scroll Settings:

Website URL: The full address of the page to capture (including https://)
Update on: When to refresh the snapshot, for example Automatic and on save to keep it updating on its own and whenever you save
Take full height of the website: Choose Yes to capture the whole page top to bottom, or No to capture just the visible screen

Many sites show a cookie banner or take a moment to load. These optional settings help the snapshot come out clean.

Cookie consent selector: If the page shows a cookie popup, enter the CSS selector of its accept/close button so the snapshot is taken after the popup is dismissed
Is cookie consent in iframe?: If that cookie popup lives inside an iframe, enter the iframe's selector here
Page ready selector: For JavaScript-heavy sites, enter a CSS selector for an element that must be visible before the snapshot is taken, so you don't capture a half-loaded page

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

Finding the right selectors takes some knowledge of the target website's HTML. If you're not sure, leave these blank and check the preview; add them only if the snapshot shows a cookie popup or a page that hasn't finished loading.

Step 4: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The snapshot refreshes based on your Update on choice. If you later change the URL or any option, remember to click Save changes again.

WindowSight

The WindowSight app turns your screen into a digital art gallery, showing curated outdoor visual art. To show your own gallery, you connect it to a WindowSight account using a couple of IDs from that account. Until you do, the app runs in a demo mode with sample art.

note

This app needs a WindowSight account. You'll get a User ID and a Player ID from WindowSight to link your gallery. Without them, the app only shows demo content.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the gallery (in demo mode until you enter your IDs).

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 90)

Step 2: Connect your WindowSight gallery

Under WindowSight Settings, enter the IDs from your WindowSight account:

WindowSight User ID: Your WindowSight user ID
WindowSight Player ID: The player ID from WindowSight

Once both are filled in correctly, the preview switches from demo mode to your gallery. Click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The art is pulled live from WindowSight, so the player needs an internet connection.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The gallery updates on its own. If you later change the IDs, remember to click Save changes again.

iCalendar

The iCalendar app displays a whole week of calendar events on screen, read from an iCal feed. It works with any calendar that can share an iCal link, such as Google Calendar, so it's a simple way to show opening hours, bookings, or an events schedule.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the week's calendar.

Name: A label for this instance
Duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 20)

Step 2: Connect your calendar feed

Under iCalendar Settings:

Type: The kind of source. Leave it on Feed to read from an iCal link
Feed: Paste the iCal feed address for your calendar. In Google Calendar, for example, this is the calendar's private iCal (.ics) address
Repeat: How many times the calendar cycles through while the app is on screen

When the preview shows your events, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The events are read live from the feed, so the player needs an internet connection to stay current. Anyone with the feed link can see the calendar, so use a link you're comfortable showing.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The calendar refreshes on its own as events change. If you later change the feed or repeat count, remember to click Save changes again.

Outlook Calendar

The Outlook Calendar app shows your Outlook calendar on screen, so a team or reception area can see what's coming up at a glance. You connect your Microsoft account, pick which calendar to display, and choose whether to show a day, a week, or a month at a time. If you'd rather show a calendar from a shared iCal link instead of a Microsoft account, see iCalendar.

Step 1: Connect your Microsoft account

When you first open an Outlook Calendar instance, the Settings tab shows a Not Connected card, and the preview asks you to connect your account.

Click Connect
Sign in with the Microsoft account whose calendar you want to show, and authorize the connection
When you return, the card turns green and reads Connected - Microsoft

note

The connection only has to be made once per instance. To unlink later, use Disconnect on the same card.

Step 2: Choose the calendar and view

Once connected, the Outlook Calendar settings appear, and the preview shows the calendar panel.

Set the following:

Instance name: A label for this instance
Default app duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays
Calendar: Choose which of your Outlook calendars to display
View period: Choose how much to show at once, Day, Week, or Month

When the preview looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

tip

Changes you make in Outlook update on screen automatically, but it can take up to 15 minutes to appear on the player.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). The calendar stays linked to Outlook and keeps showing current events. If you later change the calendar or view period, remember to click Save changes again.

Streaming App

The Streaming App puts a live stream, or any online video, straight onto your screen. It accepts links from a wide range of sources and works out the format on its own, so in most cases you just paste a link and you're done.

Step 1: Set the basic settings

After creating an instance, you land on the Settings tab. The left side holds the settings; the right side shows a live preview of the stream.

Instance name: A label for this instance
Default app duration (seconds): How long the app shows when it plays (default 15)

Step 2: Paste the stream link

Under Streaming Settings:

Streaming Link: Paste any stream or video link. The app accepts HLS (.m3u8) streams, MP4/WebM video files, and YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Vimeo, or Dailymotion page or embed URLs. The player detects the type automatically, so you don't need to tell it what kind of link it is

As soon as you paste a valid link, the preview starts playing it. When it looks right, click Save changes at the bottom-right.

note

The stream plays over the internet, so the player needs a stable connection. For a continuous live stream, set the duration long enough to show as much as you want before the app moves on.

Step 3: Use the app

Once saved, add the instance to a screen or playlist just like any other app (see Using Apps in Your Content). To show a different stream, paste a new link and click Save changes again.

Best Practices

Review before installing: Read the app info to confirm it fits your need
Test first: Add a new app instance to a test screen before going live
Use instances: Create separate instances for different locations or settings instead of reconfiguring one
Check New and Updated: Look for newly added and recently improved apps
Configure properly: Enter API keys, URLs, and accounts correctly
Mind connectivity: Live apps need a stable internet connection on the player
