Info
Disclaimer
This infotainment stream is provided as a complimentary service using third-party links from an external New Zealand provider. As such, streaming quality may vary depending on network conditions—especially during high-traffic periods such as major live events or peak viewing times.

You may briefly encounter a timeout error (as below) when selecting a channel. This is expected when many viewers are accessing the same stream simultaneously. Please allow a moment for the stream to load and stabilize—your platform is working as intended, and playback should resume shortly.

For optimal performance, we recommend using a fixed, stable internet connection.
If disruptions persist, you may consider the following alternatives:
  1. Sharing YouTube Live broadcasts through our Livestream template.
  2. Connecting a laptop directly via HDMI to access paid streaming services.
Please be aware that this service is provided "as-is" without warranty, and Vibe.fyi cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or streaming quality due to factors outside our control. Content availability and broadcast schedules are also subject to change based on third-party providers.

Designed for Set-and-Forget Simplicity

Vibe's Infotainment slides are professionally designed, with a layout built for clarity and impact across all Channels and Devices. They are not customised to individual branding themes.

Use-Case Scenario

Quote
A corporate office includes the Streamed Free-to-Air TV infotainment slide in its breakroom and collaboration space playlists to provide employees with a quick overview of major events happening around the world. Throughout the day, the slide cycles through current international headlines from trusted sources. Employees often glance at the screen while taking a break or passing through shared spaces, catching up on key developments in business, technology, and global affairs.

By keeping content fresh and regularly updated, the slide adds a dynamic element to the digital signage playlist while helping employees stay broadly informed about what’s happening beyond the workplace.

What are the best practices when setting up Screen Takeover for live streams?
  • Schedule a few minutes early (e.g., 5–10 minutes before kickoff) to allow the stream to load smoothly before the match begins.
  • Allow buffer time after the event to avoid cutting off key moments like extra time or post-match coverage.
  • Use a stable internet connection to ensure better streaming performance, especially during high-demand events.
