Overview

Play supported live web broadcasts on SignMitra screens with configurable audio and fallback behavior.

Before you begin

Keep the live broadcast URL ready and verify it plays on the same device and network used by the screen.

Good to know

  • Preview before publishing, especially when the screen orientation changes.
  • A stable connection is required for live data; previously synced playlist content remains available according to player cache rules.
  • Do not close the dashboard until a save action confirms success.

Publishing

After saving the app, add its slide to a playlist and publish that playlist to the required screen. Use Preview to confirm the layout before sending it to a live display.

Step by Step Guide
Step 1: Create a livestream

Open the app and add a descriptive stream name.

Step 2: Paste the live URL

Use a supported public or authenticated stream URL.

Step 3: Set playback

Choose mute, autoplay, fit and any retry or fallback options.

Step 4: Test the stream

Preview video and sound and confirm the stream remains stable for several minutes.

Step 5: Choose the display fit

Use contain when the full frame is important or cover when edge cropping is acceptable.

Step 6: Save and publish

Save and publish the livestream slide to the target players.
