FAQ
Is the Feed functional offline?
The updated app design will function offline provided that Aiscreen can cache data during the initial load while connected to the internet. However, the old app design does not support offline functionality.
What is the duration for which the app is displayed?
The app is displayed for the duration set within the playlist. Each content piece within the feed is shown for the time initially set when the feed was added. To adjust this duration, you can go to the 'Content Library' and hover over the feed, where the option 'Edit this app' will appear.
Is it possible to configure the feed to display only images?
Certainly, you can achieve this by initially disabling the "Revert to original layout" setting. This action will uncover the "Display images fullscreen" option, enabling the feed app to exclusively present an image. The image will automatically adjust to fit the zone or screen. Alternatively, you can opt to display the image with a blurred background by activating the "Stretch images to fill" option.
