Multizone Layouts

Multi-zone layouts allow you to divide your screen into multiple independent areas. Each zone displays different content such as weather, clocks, slideshows, images, videos, or text.

The goal of this document is to guide you through creating your first multi zone layout.

  • Click Create Layout.


2. Your layout should now look similar to the example below.


3. Configuring the first zone.
  • Click the white zone on the canvas.
  • The Slideshow Properties panel will appear on the bottom left.
  • This panel allows you to upload your own images, choose content from your library, add widgets, and change zone settings.
  • Let’s update the default zone to show the weather. Click the Details button under Slideshow Properties.
