How do I assign a playlist to a screen?

You control what a TV shows by opening Screens → Screens, selecting the screen, and choosing which playlist(s) it should play from the Playlists dropdown.

Plan
Essentials, Scale, Pro and Enterprise (Screens/Playlists are included in all plans)

Prerequisites

  • Screens/SalesSurround is enabled for your organization

  • You have Screen Admin (or equivalent) permissions

  • At least one playlist has been created and saved


Step‑by‑step instructions

Step 1 – Open Screens

  1. In SalesScreen, open the left‑hand menu.

  2. Under Other, click Screens.


Step 2 – Select the screen

  1. At the top, make sure you are on the Screens tab.

  2. In the list, click the screen name you want to update.

A settings panel opens on the right‑hand side.


Step 3 – Choose the playlist(s)

  1. In the right‑hand panel, find the Playlists dropdown.

  2. Click the dropdown to see all available playlists.

  3. Select the playlist you want to run on that screen

    • If your setup allows multiple playlists per screen, select all playlists you want this screen to cycle through.

The selected playlist’s slides will start playing on that screen the next time the TV player refreshes.


What happens next

  • The TV (or player) linked to that screen will show slides according to the assigned playlist(s).

  • Any later changes you make to those playlists (adding/removing/reordering slides) will automatically affect the content on that screen.


What if this doesn’t work?

My playlist doesn’t appear in the dropdown

  • Check that the playlist has been created and saved under Screens → Playlists.

  • Make sure you have permission to see that playlist; it may be team‑specific or restricted to certain screens/teams.

The screen still shows the old content

  • Wait for the TV player to refresh or restart the device running SalesScreen.

  • Confirm that you updated the correct screen in the Screens list (screens can have similar names).
