Tutorial #1: Displaying Content with the Built-In Player on the SpeechiDisplay Screen

In a previous article, we introduced the three ways to create digital signage on a SpeechiDisplay, namely: using the screen’s built-in player, using the ScreenShare software, or using digital signage software. This first tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to display your communication content on the SpeechiDisplay screen using just a simple USB stick and the screen’s built-in player.

This video already shows you how to proceed. This more detailed tutorial is a chance to walk you through the process step-by-step with helpful screenshots. Let’s get started!


How to Prepare a Broadcast Playlist Using the Built-In Player on the SpeechiDisplay Screen

Before anything else, plug the USB stick containing your files into one of the USB ports on your SpeechiDisplay screen. All the steps can be done:

  • either using the remote control, with the directional buttons to navigate, the central button to confirm, and the “Back” button to go back,
  • or using a keyboard with a built-in trackpad connected to the screen, as shown in the video (keyboard not included, but available as an optional accessory!).

[1] On the home screen, go to the “Media Player” icon using the remote control and confirm your selection.

[2] You’ll now see the Media Player interface on your screen. You haven’t created any playlists yet. To create one, click on “Create my playlist.”
[3] Enter the name of your playlist using the on-screen keyboard and the directional buttons on the remote, then click Confirm.
[4] Your playlist is currently empty. To add media files to it, click on “Add files.”
[5] The screen’s file explorer window will open. Select the file you want to import.
[6] Your playlist has been created! Now you just need to set the days and times it should play.
[7] Click on “Settings” at the top right. Enable “Playback Schedule,” then click on “Add a playback schedule.”
[8] Enter a name for your playback schedule, select the playlist you want to broadcast, then set the start/end times and the days of the week you want it to be displayed. Finally, click Save.
[9] That’s it (already)! Your playback schedule will launch automatically at the specified day and time!
