Step 4: Add Breaks to Schedule Content at Specific Times
Breaks make it easier to schedule content according to your needs, ensuring precise timing and seamless transitions. Here are some key use cases:
Step 4a: Schedule Content to Play at a Specific Time
If you want your next content to start at a later time, use the Breaks option to set the exact playback time. This ensures that your content plays according to your schedule without manual intervention.
As demonstrated above, if the content needs to play at 4 PM, the break is scheduled to last until 3:59:59 PM. This ensures that when the new content is added, it starts precisely at 4 PM without any delays or overlaps.
Step 4b: Schedule Content for a Specific Day of the Week
If you want your content to play on a different day, you can use the Breaks option to set both the date and time. This ensures that the content starts exactly when needed, without manual adjustments.
In the example above, the next content was scheduled to play on Saturday at 5 PM. To achieve this, the Breaks option was set with the exact date and time, ensuring that the next content starts precisely at 5 PM on Saturday without any manual intervention.
Step 5: Set Schedule
Click on Set Schedule button once the contents are scheduled.
Using the Schedule mode, you can add as much contents as you want.
