The HLS (HTTP live streaming) widget plays a live video stream directly from an HLS URL on a signage screen. Use HLS (HTTP live streaming) for real-time feeds such as cameras, live broadcasts, and town-hall events hosted on a media server. To play uploaded video files instead, use the Video widget.

Scope and limitations

  • Stream availability and network access: Video content, resolution, and uptime depend on the streaming server. Each signage player device needs direct network access to the Stream URL.
  • Typography and theme: Theme appearance and widget background follow the signage content design. Font size settings do not affect media widgets. See Widgets and the places they go.
