Desktop Channels

Static

Wallpaper Background & Lock Screen

1. Content Support: This channel supports static content created using the Image (Single) template. [Learn more about using the snapshot tool to create static slides]
   
2. Slide Availability: If you can only see Image (Single) slides in the playlist, it means the playlist is assigned to a Lock Screen or Background Wallpaper License.
   
3. Purpose: Ideal for displaying high-quality static visuals, such as branded wallpapers or informational images.
   

Dynamic

Digital Signage & Screensaver

1. Content Support: These channels support both dynamic and static content.
2. Slide Availability: All slide types can be added to playlists for these channels.
3. Purpose: Perfect for showcasing a mix of engaging dynamic content and static visuals to capture audience attention.
   

Use the Playlist Location Settings to assign the appropriate channels to each playlist, ensuring the right content reaches the intended audience.

Alerts 

Slide not generated

1. "This slide hasn't been generated yet" alert appears when a slide is still in the process of being generated.
   

Location Specific Content

1. "This slide contains content that is only visible in specific locations" alert appears when All Locations is selected in the Preview As dropdown.
   
2. "This slide may not currently be visible or may not contain any content for this location" alert appears when a specific location is selected in the Preview As dropdown.

These alerts help you to verify the visibility of your content content across multiple locations.

Use the slide editor to manage your content location settings. 

How It Works:

1. Within the Playlist Editor, use the Preview As dropdown to simulate how your playlist will appear in various locations or select 'All Locations' to view all slides in the playlist.
   
   
2. Alert Trigger: If any slide contains content designated for specific locations only, the alert message "This slide contains content that is only visible in specific locations." will appear. 
   
   This serves as a reminder that certain slides are not universally visible and are tailored to particular locations.

To check your content settings, select the Edit Slide option in the slide menu

In the slide editor, open the content editor to check the Location tab.
