Missed us? Good! Because we’re back, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and bringing you a whole host of awesome new features for you to dive into.
And you’ll want to roll up your sleeves and give them a try as soon as you click out of this newsletter because these features won’t just make your Yodecking easier, they’ll also make your content next-level amazing.
We’ve made it easy as can be for you to schedule and play media and playlists – no layouts necessary! Read on, find out more, and go work your own brand of magic.
Media & Playlists as Schedules and Default Content
Extra flexibility, more control and better content – that’s what we’re promising you with our great new feature. Want to display simple media content, no fuss no muss? In a hurry and don’t want the hassle of scheduling a whole new layout? We’ve got you covered (and layout-free!) on both counts. All you’ve got to do is pick a playlist or choose any media you want, including images and videos, plug your content of choice into a schedule or set it as your monitor’s default content and you’re golden.
Your Account at a Glance
All your account settings and info are now grouped together, all on one page, so it’s much easier to navigate and manage. If you want to see what permissions users have or if you need to create a new workspace, it’s all under the same roof. Need to buy a player or upgrade your Yodeck subscription? That’s there too. Just click on Account Settings, and you’ve got your account overview.
Reboot Player Revamped (& More)
Our trusty old Reboot Player option got its first face-lift. This means all of you can now do so much more when you go to your Monitor Details window. Under the Actions tab, you can now manually turn your monitor on or off or choose to shut it down. Quick, easy and just what you’ve all been asking for.
And there’s more. Editing your monitors became a whole lot easier because there’s a nifty new Bulk Edit button right there on the Monitors home page. Make mass changes all at the same time and whether you’re dealing with two monitors or two hundred, it will still take only a few seconds to get all your changes done.
Check out our Changelog, chock-full of improvements:
