There are three types of presentation you can create in BrightAuthor:connected:

  • Full-screen presentations: A looping playlist of media–images, videos, HTML pages, etc. that occupies the entire presentation display. 

  • Multi-zone presentations: Content can occupy different zones on the screen, allowing you to display multiple images, videos, HTML pages, and text widgets in a customizable layout.

  • Interactive presentations: Playback, whether full-screen or multi-zone, is responsive to interactive events such as button presses, GPIO input, or UDP commands.

Besides image, video, audio, and HTML files, presentations can also feature a number of BrightAuthor states, such as Live Text, Media RSS feeds, and HDMI® input.

Your presentation can be saved to the cloud, where it can be accessed by other users, or it can be published directly to players.
