Yodeckers, we have a host of exciting new features – starting with Interactive Touchscreen Android and Web players. Also, we launched Yodeck for Tizen/Samsung commercial-grade displays as a Beta. And Yodeck for Android graduated from Beta to our family of reliable and robust player options (plus, get a few helpful tips on how to effectively use Android tablets as part of your digital signage). And of course we have some handy features that prove helpful to large accounts.
Boost Engagement with Interactive Touchscreen Android & Web Players
Have a touchscreen device, such as a TV, tablet, computer screen or smartphone? Then, you’re sure to delight viewers with our new interactivity feature that lets people interact with websites. Most importantly, it’s super useful in stores, museums, schools or any business with website content that intrigues customers or visitors and makes them want to learn more and explore.
Please note, this touchscreen interactivity feature is available for Yodeck Android and Web Players only. Just enable it through the ‘Monitors’ setting. And it also works for Apps, too, to help your teams interact with data dashboards and target the exact info they need.
