Background Music

A device can play an audio file in the background while a schedule shows visual content. The music is attached to the schedule itself, in the save options, so the visuals and the audio are managed independently.

Before starting, upload the audio file (and the visual content) through the Content menu — see Step 2: Upload Content from Your Computer. Only uploaded content can be selected as background music.
