Create an Announcement
Announcements are short, loud messages — think "Now Hiring", "Open Today", or "Free Wi-Fi." You can build one in under 3 minutes.

Before you start
- Logged in to your dashboard
-
1
Pick the Announcement template
On any playlist tab, click an empty Announcement tile (the megaphone 📣 icon) — or open Create Content from the sidebar and grab the Announcement card. -
2
Fill in headline, subtext, and colors
Type a HEADLINE (5–7 words is the sweet spot — "Now Hiring", "Free Wi-Fi", "Open Today") and keep SUBTEXT under 12 words. Pick a BACKGROUND color or image, then set the HEADLINE and BODY TEXT colors for contrast — white on bright or dark on light. -
3
Save the tile
Hit Save. It’s stored on the current playlist and the tile thumbnail refreshes right away with your design. -
4
Toggle On and push
Flip the tile’s toggle to On, then click the green UPDATE button in the sidebar to push it out. See Sync your displays.
Tips & Common Issues
- •Stick to two fonts/colors max — clean reads better from a distance.
- •Eyeball it from across the room. Can’t read it at 10 feet? Size up the text or boost the contrast.
- •Build seasonal messages (Halloween, holiday hours) once, then just toggle them On/Off each year instead of rebuilding.
