Branded Templates: Create and Manage Reusable Layout Designs
Branded Templates allow you to create ready-to-use, reusable layout designs that follow your company’s branding, colors, and style guidelines. They serve as a starting point for building layouts, making it easy for any team member, regardless of design skills, to produce professional, on-brand digital signage.
Advanced Settings and Scheduling Layouts in the Layout Editor
Advanced settings in Yodeck’s Layout Editor help you take your layouts beyond static designs. They allow you to automate when content plays, control what happens after it expires, and enhance viewer experience with features like background audio.
Locking Elements and Controlling Access in the Layout Editor
When multiple people work on your layouts, it’s important to keep your designs consistent and prevent accidental changes. The locking tools in Yodeck’s Layout Editor give you control over what can and cannot be edited, helping you protect brand assets, control content updates, and guide team workflows.
Working with Screen Sizes and Aspect Ratios in the Layout Editor
A well-designed layout should always look great on your screens without stretching, cropping, or leaving empty spaces. To achieve that, it’s essential to understand and configure the aspect ratio of your layout. Aspect ratio defines the shape of your layout and determines how content appears on your displays. Yodeck’s Layout Editor allows you to choose from predefined screen sizes or create custom ratios to perfectly match any display, from standard TVs to vertical kiosks or LED walls.
Editing and Customizing Content in the Layout Editor
Once you’ve created a layout, the next step is customizing it to match your message, brand, and visual style. The redesigned Yodeck Layout Editor gives you powerful tools to format text, style media, customize shapes, and manage multiple elements, all while staying simple and intuitive.

Web Scripting Engine & Webpage Recording Tool
At Yodeck, we’re all about enabling you to display any content you want – making Digital Signage powerful and easy. Our Web Scripting Engine was already a game-changer, giving you the power to customize how web pages appear on screen — even allowing you to display content that’s behind a login. But now, with our Webpage Recording Tool, we’re taking automation to the next level—no coding required!
Whether you’re a seasoned technical user or someone who’s never written a line of code, you can now customize web content on your screens with just a few clicks. Let’s explore how both tools work and how you can make the most of them.
Webpage Recording Tool
The Webpage Recording Tool simplifies the power of the Web Scripting Engine by allowing you to record your actions on a webpage without writing any code. The code is automatically generated based on the actions being recorded. Therefore, the tool does the scripting/coding for you.
Examples of Schedules
Yodeck’s Schedules feature gives you precise control over what content plays on your screens and exactly when it plays. Whether you need to turn off your screen during non-business hours, play special events, or manage overlapping content, Schedules make it easy to automate your digital signage.
Let’s explore some practical examples to see how Schedules work.
Schedules
A Schedule is a collection of one or more Events, and each Event tells your Player when and what to display. Users can view events displayed visually on a calendar at the center of the screen, while the list on the right side prioritizes them logically, determining their order in case of conflicts. The Event configuration allows you to select the Event type, choosing between displaying content or setting screen-off times. Moreover, you can choose the types of content to display and define the start and end dates and times for that content.
Embeddable Feeds
Embeddable Feeds allow you to share your Yodeck content outside of your physical screens—on websites, intranets, and beyond. It’s a powerful way to expand your content’s reach and reuse what you’ve already created in Yodeck without duplicating work across different tools.
You can easily display your Facebook feed in a slideshow or a wall. Just log in with your Facebook account, select a Facebook page from the list of pages you own, and style the app to your preferences.
