Digital Signage

The School operates many digital signage screen's throughout the School. Each screen has its own content and can be updated by any staff member with powerpoints, video's or other content.  

Planet eStream is our digital signage management system and can be accessed using the following link: https://badmintonschool.planetestream.com/

Managing your Content Loop

eStream uses Content Loops to setup what is shown on each screen. There are several content loops throughout the School for each screen or area. Its important you edit the correct content loop.  Each content loop can contain many powerpoints, videos and much more.

The quickest way to add a powerpoint is to drag it into the content panel and wait for it to upload.

Once uploaded you need to modify the default settings as follows:

Step 1 - Change the transition to none

Step 2 - Click on Scheduling Options

Note that you can also use this scheduling options to chose days of the week or a start and end time for the powerpoint to be displayed

Head of Departments

There is a rota for heads of departments to make sure they produce content for the screens on a weekly basis.  

Please remember to delete your powerpoints when they are no longer applicable

Any other adhoc announcements or adverts can also be published via any hod.

Slide Animations and Timings

The current system does NOT support fancy transitions or animations within your slides, for the best results you should design your slideshow to show each slide for approx 10 seconds.
