When you add a Multichannel post to a digital signage screen, you can choose its layout, allowing you to decide how the title, body, and image are presented to make each post visually appealing. Additionally, you can add a QR code for quick user access to the full post. The same layout is used on every digital signage screen showing the post.
You need "Access Studio" and "Create, edit, and delete posts" permissions to customize the digital signage layout for a post. To add a post to a digital signage screen, you additionally need "Add content to digital signage screens" permission.

The following layout options are available. Details, such as text wrapping and the number of lines, may vary for each screen.

Customizing a post's layout for digital signage
You can customize the layout of a multichannel post in the Studio editor when creating or editing it.
- On the right-hand side of the editor, select Customize teaser in the Teaser section.
- In the pop-up, select the Digital Signage tab.
- Under Featured image, select an image for your teaser. You can use only one image in the digital signage teaser. Note that videos are not supported on digital signage.
- Set a Focus for your selected image.
- Choose a Layout. Depending on your selected layout, you can also change the Text position.
- In the Vertical split layout, you can also select whether your chosen image should Fit or Fill the space. If Fit is selected, the full image will be shown with a blurred background.
- For each layout, you can also define a Text color or Background/Gradient color.
- Optionally, toggle Display QR code to show the QR code on the teaser. If the QR code is displayed, users can scan the code to open the full post to read it. Learn more in Accessing posts from digital signage screens.
- Select Save to save your layout.
After this, once the post is added to any digital signage screen, it will be shown in this layout.
