Building Playlists and Content

Your display screens show prayer times by default — but you can add verses, announcements, events, and custom content to create a richer experience. Content lives in the Content Library; playlists decide what appears on each screen and in what order.

On the Growth plan, you have unlimited playlists and slides. This guide describes the full workflow. If you are on Free or Starter, see the section at the end for limits and workarounds.

The Content Library supports several content types. Each has a distinct purpose and display style:

• Announcement — Important notices for your community
• Verse / Hadith — Quran verse or Hadith with Arabic and translation
• Custom Content — Any text or message you want to display
• 99 Names of Allah — The beautiful names with Arabic and meaning (Starter+)
• Dua — Supplication with Arabic, transliteration and translation (Starter+)
• Event — Upcoming events with date and details (Starter+)
• Donation — QR code for general or campaign giving (Starter+)

Content is created in the Content Library and can be reused across multiple playlists.

1. 1

   Open the Content Library

   In the admin dashboard, go to Playlists → Content Library. You will see all existing content items.
2. 2

   Click Add Content

   Choose the content type you want to create. Each type has a form tailored to its purpose — e.g. Verse/Hadith lets you search and select a verse, Custom lets you enter free text.
3. 3

   Fill in the details

   Enter a title (used for organisation), the main content, and set a display duration in seconds. Longer content may need more time for worshippers to read.
4. 4

   Save

   The content is saved to your library and can now be added to any playlist.

Using templates

If you are new to playlists, start from a template. Go to Playlists → Templates to browse pre-built playlists (e.g. Ramadan, Jumuah, General) that you can duplicate and customise.

A playlist is an ordered list of content that cycles on your screens. You add items from the Content Library, drag to reorder, and assign the playlist to one or more screens.

1. 1

   Go to My Playlists

   In the sidebar, click Playlists → My Playlists.
2. 2

   Create a new playlist

   Click Create Playlist, give it a name (e.g. Weekday Main, Jumuah, Ramadan), and optionally a description.
3. 3

   Add content

   Open the playlist editor. Click Add Content and select items from your Content Library. You can also add content directly from the library with the Add to Playlist action.
4. 4

   Reorder with drag and drop

   Drag items up or down to change the order. The first item appears first when the playlist runs.
5. 5

   Assign to screens

   In the playlist settings or from the Screens page, assign this playlist to the screens where you want it to appear.
