Do I need to know how to code to use these widgets?

Not at all. Every widget in our library is designed for "no-code" use. Whether you are embedding a live website, a weather forecast, or a Google Calendar, you simply paste the URL or log in through our secure interface. We handle the technical integration behind the scenes.

Are there ready-made templates?

Yes. The Canvas editor comes with 100+ templates for menus, announcements, schedules and promotions. Open one, swap the text, colours and images, and it is yours.

How often does the data in the widgets refresh?

Our widgets are built to stay current. Most data-driven tools, such as Weather and RSS feeds, update every few minutes. For Calendar integrations, any change you make in your Google or Outlook app will typically reflect on your screen within moments, ensuring your schedule is always accurate.

Can I customize the widgets to match my brand colors?

Yes. Most of our widgets include styling options that allow you to change background colors, text fonts, and layout orientations. This ensures that live data like the time or weather feels like a native part of your brand’s visual identity rather than an afterthought.

Can I use these widgets in a split-screen layout?

Absolutely. Widgets are highly flexible. You can run a full-screen Weather display, or place it in a small "zone" alongside a main Video. This allows you to create informative, multi-layered layouts that keep your audience engaged with diverse content.

Do YouTube and Vimeo widgets show ads?

Our integrations are designed to provide the cleanest experience possible. However, since the content is hosted by third-party platforms, ad behavior is generally dictated by your account settings with those providers. For a completely ad-free experience, we recommend using our native Video tool for uploaded files.
