Branded Templates allow you to create ready-to-use, reusable layout designs that follow your company’s branding, colors, and style guidelines. They serve as a starting point for building layouts, making it easy for any team member, regardless of design skills, to produce professional, on-brand digital signage.

Advanced settings in Yodeck’s Layout Editor help you take your layouts beyond static designs. They allow you to automate when content plays, control what happens after it expires, and enhance viewer experience with features like background audio.

When multiple people work on your layouts, it’s important to keep your designs consistent and prevent accidental changes. The locking tools in Yodeck’s Layout Editor give you control over what can and cannot be edited, helping you protect brand assets, control content updates, and guide team workflows.

A well-designed layout should always look great on your screens without stretching, cropping, or leaving empty spaces. To achieve that, it’s essential to understand and configure the aspect ratio of your layout. Aspect ratio defines the shape of your layout and determines how content appears on your displays. Yodeck’s Layout Editor allows you to choose from predefined screen sizes or create custom ratios to perfectly match any display, from standard TVs to vertical kiosks or LED walls.

Once you’ve created a layout, the next step is customizing it to match your message, brand, and visual style. The redesigned Yodeck Layout Editor gives you powerful tools to format text, style media, customize shapes, and manage multiple elements, all while staying simple and intuitive.

The Yodeck Layout Editor is where you design the content that appears on your screens. It allows you to combine text, media, apps, playlists, and more into a single, visually engaging layout, all without needing design experience. With the redesigned Layout Editor, everything is now faster, more intuitive, and easier to use. The interface has been restructured to match modern design tools, so you can focus on creativity and efficiency.

Yodeck’s Schedules feature gives you precise control over what content plays on your screens and exactly when it plays. Whether you need to turn off your screen during non-business hours, play special events, or manage overlapping content, Schedules make it easy to automate your digital signage.
Let’s explore some practical examples to see how Schedules work.

A Schedule is a collection of one or more Events, and each Event tells your Player when and what to display. Users can view events displayed visually on a calendar at the center of the screen, while the list on the right side prioritizes them logically, determining their order in case of conflicts. The Event configuration allows you to select the Event type, choosing between displaying content or setting screen-off times. Moreover, you can choose the types of content to display and define the start and end dates and times for that content.
