Use Airtame to show video announcements on one or multiple Airtames at the same time. This can either be a live or recorded video, depending on your needs.
Key takeaways:
-
Learn how to use YouTube Live to show live announcements.
-
Learn how to show a recorded video either via YouTube, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
-
Learn how to schedule an announcement for a specific time.
-
This can even be achieved without being on the same location or network.
-
This is expected to run smoother on Airtame 2 than Airtame 1.
Using YouTube for live announcements
Step 1: Create your video
You can choose to go live right away or schedule for later:
Once you have scheduled a live video, you will find it in the overview:
Step 2: Set up YouTube on Airtame
-
Use the Website App: Digital signage app: Website
-
Use the following URL and replace the [INSERT ID] with the ID from your video:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/INSERT-ID?rel=0&autoplay=1
You can learn more about YouTube Embedded Players and Player Parameters
Step 3: Schedule time and date
You can schedule a time and date that the video should display on your Airtame. This can even be set as a recurring event throughout the week: Digital Signage: Scheduled Content.
Using a recorded video
If you prefer to use a pre-recorded video, you can easily do so. We have made a dedicated article for each service:
Schedule the announcement to show at a specific time
Use Scheduled Content to broadcast the announcement to all Airtames at a recurring time and day. Learn more here: Digital Signage: Scheduled Content
For the below example:
-
This Airtame will loop between Google Slides and Homescreen.
-
Only on Fridays from 09:00-10:00, it will show the Website app which is configured to show the YouTube live video.
-
After Friday at 10:00, the Airtame will go back to other looped content.
