Select the item type from the Add Item menu.

Note: Only the following slide types are currently available for use in sign feeds: BibleContentAnnouncement, and Image Slideshow, and Videos. Motion backgrounds are not currently available, so they show up in your sign feed as still images.

3. Enter your slide information.

Add background to slide

You don’t have to remember to add and remove items from your sign feed. Set a schedule and your sign feed will add and remove your custom slide automatically.

Your sign feed will update automatically. To locate your feed, navigate to your Presentation Team on Faithlife.com, select Digital Signage in the left-hand Admin panel, and select Copy Link to preview any sign feed you’ve set up in a web browser.
