Go Live

You've set up your account, created your content, and built your playlists. Now it's time to go live. Follow these steps to publish your content to your screens and start displaying it to your audience.

Step 1: Go to Screens and Select Your Screen

Navigate to the Screens section from the main menu. You'll see a list of all screens connected to your HipDeck account. Click on the screen you want to publish content to.

Step 2: Assign a Playlist to the Screen

With your screen selected, choose a playlist to assign to it. This playlist will determine what content plays on that screen. You can assign different playlists to different screens, giving you full control over each display.

Step 3: Optionally Set a Schedule

Want more control over when your content plays? Use the scheduling feature to define exactly when your playlist runs. You can choose specific days of the week and set start and end times — perfect for time-sensitive promotions, announcements, or rotating content throughout the day.

If no schedule is set, your playlist will play continuously whenever the screen is active.

Step 4: Click Publish

Once you're happy with your playlist assignment and schedule, click the Publish button. Your content will go live immediately — no waiting, no delays.

And because everything is managed through the cloud, you can make updates from anywhere, whether you're in the office, at home, or on the go.
