Video posts are a very effective way of communicating with users. Whether you’re posting a fireside chat with the CEO, a tour of a new facility, or training content, videos always draw a lot of attention. Video posts can include local and external content such as MP4 files and Youtube videos.

When publishing video posts from the content management system, the video file size isn’t limited. However, it’s recommended that you keep your video file size as small as possible. Smaller videos are easier for users to play on their devices. Once your video is uploaded, it’s stored in the Media Library so that it can be used for other posts and messages on your digital signage player.

Or you can select another image file to be the cover image

Image posts are the simplest type of post but the most visual.

Up to 10 images can be included per image post.

Drag to reorder the images, the first image will be the Cover

Article posts should be used for longer featured pieces. You can use the What You See is What You Get (WYSISYG) editor to insert custom links, assets from the Media Manager such as PDF files, and resources.

Add up to 10 images, the first will be used as the cover

An optional Acknowledge post button can be turned on to add an interactive trackable button to the post for the end user to click

Link posts should be used to share important external websites or intranet pages with users. To create a link post, all you need is the URL to the webpage that you want to share with your users.

Once you enter the URL, the content management system will read the dynamic HTML to import and generate a Cover, or you can select your own cover image

Poll posts should be used to create a single multiple choice poll that can be used to gather quick feedback from your users.

It will generate a Cover Image based on your Branding Settings

Polls deliver instant results to both you and your users.

Similar to poll posts, survey posts should be used to gather feedback from your users.

Unlike poll posts, survey posts allow for more in-depth questions and responses.

You can also set the Cover Image

The survey is built using multiple True or False, Multiple Choice, Text Response, or Numerical Response questions

Responses can remain anonymous or be categorized by user. Survey posts can be re-used to collect new responses.
