This article in a nutshell:

  • By default, Digital Signage and In-Room TV Streams will display all activities happening in your hotel over the next 3 days.

  • You can however select the specific content displayed on your Digital Signage and In-Room TV Streams by creating Content Sets.

  • Content Sets can be reused across different streams, making the creation of streams easier.

  • This article shows you how to create and manage your Content Sets. For more information on Streams, please refer to this article.

​When managing your Digital Signage and In-Room TV Streams, all activities happening in your hotel over the next 3 days will be displayed by default.

However, you can also select the content to be displayed in your Streams by creating Content Sets. A Content Set is a library of the content that will be displayed on a Stream. There are a few ways to create Content Sets, which are described in detail in this article:

  • By selecting the content items manually

  • By importing the content items of a MICE event

  • By manually inserting a single item into a Content Set

How to activate Content Sets

Regardless of the content selection method, the first step toward Content Sets is to activate them by clicking the button "Select content set".

On the following pop-up, you can either select an existing Content Set or create a new one.

When creating a new Content Set, you will be prompted to name it so you can edit it later.

A) Create a Content Set by selecting individual content items

This option is suitable if you want to have full control over the Content Set, directly from the Digital Signage interface. This option is replacing the tagging system previously used.

Step 1: Select the content type you wish to add to your Content Set

Click on one of the three content types offered by Hotel MSSNGR: Activities, Services, or Hotel Information.

Step 2: Select the content items to display

Simply select the content items you wish to add to your Content Set and click on "Apply selection".

💡Please note: Streams display Activities based on their scheduled times. As a result, new activities may not be visible immediately

B) Display the content of a MICE event on a Content Set

If you use the MICE feature and would like to create a Stream dedicated to a specific MICE event, you can import and display the content relevant to the event. Simply select the event from the MICE dropdown menu.

Note that this method can not be combined with any other content selection method.


Adding a single item to a Content Set

When creating or editing a content item (for example, a Hotel information item), you can add it directly to a Content Set.

To do so, simply scroll down the content item page until you reach the "Digital Signage Settings". You then have two options:

  1. Show in Digital Signage default stream

    • Tick this if you want the item to appear on all signage streams that don’t use content sets (these are your “default” streams that show all Activities).


  2. Content sets

    • Select one or more content sets to include this item in specific streams.

    • This gives you granular control and is ideal for targeted displays (e.g., sports area screen, spa lobby, etc).

How to reuse a Content Set

When creating a new Stream, you can easily reuse an existing Content Set by clicking the button "Select content set" and selecting the according pre-existing Content Set.
