The Video widget
Play an uploaded video file on the main stage, in a side widget, or on an info card, and configure its scaling mode, looping behavior, and audio volume.
The Video widget plays one uploaded video file on the main stage, in a side widget, or on an info card. The player device caches the video file locally, so playback continues smoothly even if the network connection drops briefly.

Schedule a video for specific hours
Set the main stage Content mode to Schedule to play a video only at chosen times of day, such as a safety briefing at 9:00 AM or a brand video over lunch. Draw a time block on the calendar grid and assign the Video widget to that block. See Schedule what a screen plays through the week.
