This article in a nutshell:
You can control both Digital Signage and In-Room TV through one interface.
This interface lets you create distinct channels known as Streams.
You can manage Stream settings like playback speed, App advertising, and more for seamless control.
This article guides you through the interface, creating Stream and displaying upcoming Activity content items by default.
For specific content selection, use Content Sets as described in this article.
The previous Digital Signage/In-Room TV URL system will still be active for some months, but please make sure to transfer to the new system.
The Digital Signage interface streamlines content management for both Digital Signage and In-Room TV, all in one convenient location.
With just a few clicks, you can create Streams, acting as dedicated channels, on which to add your content. By default, Streams display all Activity content items for the next three days. For more specific content control, you can create Content Sets. Learn more about this feature here.
💡Each Stream comes with its own URL, which remains constant even if you alter its content entirely. Simply copy and paste this URL into your device's browser or Chromeboxes.

Linear Streams: Designed for non-touchscreen devices, presenting content as a slideshow.
Interactive Streams: Tailored for touchscreen devices, allowing users to navigate content as on a phone or tablet.
Step 3: Name and describe your stream
Enter the name and description for your Stream. We suggest naming it based on its display area or its purpose. For example, name it "Spa Screens" for Spa area displays or "Activity" for activity content.
Additionally, adding a description helps to distinguish streams, particularly when managing multiple streams.
