Create a playlist

You create a playlist in Playlists: click New, pick New playlist, give it a name, and click Save. The playlist opens right away, so you can put content in it straight from there with Add.

Create a playlist

  1. Go to Playlists in the sidebar.
  2. Click New and pick New playlist.
  3. Fill in Playlist name.
  4. Click Save.

Add content

  1. In the open playlist, click Add.
  2. Pick the items you want to add. Those can be images, videos, PDFs, apps, designs, and split screens.
  3. Confirm your selection. The items land at the bottom of the list.

To remove something later, select the item and pick Delete.

Change the order

Drag an item to where you want it. The playlist plays from top to bottom and then starts over.

Duration per item

The duration sits to the right of each item.

  • New items get the playlist's default duration. That starts at 10 seconds.
  • A video takes on its own length, so it plays all the way through.
  • Click an item's duration to put a value of your own in it.
  • To adjust several items at once, select them and pick Change duration.

A Power BI app that cycles through its pages as a slideshow has a small lock next to the duration. That duration comes out of the app settings and that is where you change it. Other apps don't have this.

Further settings

The default duration, the transition between items, the transition speed, and the way content is scaled are all set in the playlist settings. See Playlist settings.
