Playlists

Playlists: choosing what your frames show

A playlist is a set of photos and videos shown in turn. Each frame plays one playlist.

Make a playlist

  1. Tap the Playlists tab (My Playlists).
  2. Tap + New, type a name, and tap Create. The new playlist opens, empty, and plays in random order every 10 minutes until you change that in Settings.

To rename or delete one, swipe its row left and tap Rename or Delete. If a playlist is playing on one of your frames, switch that frame to another playlist first, then delete it. Built-in playlists can't be renamed or deleted.

Add photos

  • One photo: open it, tap Manage Playlists, tick the playlists you want, tap Done. You'll see Saved.
  • Many photos: pick a playlist when you upload (see the uploading chapter).

Take photos out or reorder

Open the playlist. It has Arrange, Select and Settings buttons.

  • Remove: tap Select, tick photos, tap Remove from playlist. They stay in your library.
  • Reorder: set Play Order to In Order (see below), reopen the playlist, tap Arrange (it doesn't appear on an empty or random playlist), drag (or use the arrows, Move to start, Move to end), then Save order.

Order and timing

Open the playlist, tap Settings (Playlist Settings):

  • Play Order: In Order or Random (the default). Your account may show additional orders such as by date taken.
  • Image Changes Every: 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or 1, 2, 4, 8 or 24 hours. Tap Save Settings.

Put a playlist on a frame

On the Frames tab, find the frame's playlist row and tap Change, then pick the playlist (the current one has a check mark).

If you see Plan limit when changing a frame's playlist, changing it isn't part of your current plan. You can always switch back to the default Startup List.
