The Announcements widget
Display announcements posted in the Broadcast module on signage screens. Announcements advance one by one on cards and side columns, or scroll as a marquee on a text bar.
The Announcements widget displays messages published in the Broadcast module and targeted at the screen’s device or location. In Main stage, Side widgets, and Info cards slots, the widget shows one announcement at a time and advances on a timer. In a Text bar slot, it joins all active announcements into a single scrolling marquee line.
One announcement at a time on the main stage.
Available slots: Main stage · Side widgets · Info cards · Text bar
Widget settings
| Setting | Description | When to change it |
|---|---|---|
| Seconds per announcement | Sets how long each announcement stays visible before advancing to the next (applies to all slots except Text bar). | Increase the duration when announcements contain longer paragraphs. |
| Rolling speed | Sets how fast the scrolling line moves (Text bar only). | Lower the speed for lobby bars that people read from a distance. |
| Rolling direction | Sets the scroll direction on a Text bar: Right to left or Left to right for horizontal bars, or Bottom to top and Top to bottom for vertical side bars. | Match the natural reading direction of your display language. |
When placed on a Text bar, the widget does not page through announcements individually; only Rolling speed and Rolling direction apply.
