Share content with your digital signage screens

Screen Share

Share your computer live to any Play screen. Use a private session when you are logged in, or generate a public URL so anyone can temporarily display content on a TV.

The Screen Share feature lets you display content from a computer on any of your Play screens. It is useful when you need to break from scheduled playlists and show something live — for example, a sales presentation, a dashboard, or a file on a laptop.

Screen share is available for Pro and Ultimate subscription packages.
