Playback modes — Promotion, Your Offerings and Banners

In DS-GO there are three playback modes. Think of the screen as “three layers”:

➡️ Priority:

• Promotions: take over the whole screen
• Banners: small block over the base
• Your Offerings: base loop

➡️ Your Offerings — what it is

This is the “base”: your items play full-screen in a loop. When the list ends, it starts again.
Use for:

• Menus and price lists
• Long-running offers (“always on”)
• Lists of services/products
• Full-screen YouTube videos
• Full-screen Instagram posts/Reels
  

*If nothing is scheduled in Promotions, the screen always shows only *Your Offerings

➡️ Promotions — when you need content on a schedule

These are “timed inserts”. At the set moment, Promotions show full-screen, interrupting Your Offerings and Banners, then playback returns to what was running before.
Good for:

• Ad breaks during YouTube (e.g., every 5/10 minutes)
• Synchronized “super-wide” image/video across a row of multiple screens
• Short “today only/right now” campaigns
  

*While a Promotion is active, banners are hidden — they return automatically after the promo ends.

➡️ Banners — a small panel over the base content

A small block in a dedicated area of the screen. It doesn’t pause or replace the base content; it appears on top of it.
Good for:

• “On sale now”, “Happy hour”, QR codes
• Small Instagram updates (posts/Reels as banners)
  

*Banners are visible over Your Offerings and YouTube, but are hidden during Promotions.

Choosing a mode — made simple

• Want the screen to “live by itself” all day? → Your Offerings.
• Want a full-screen ad/announcement to appear on schedule? → Promotions.
• Want a gentle highlight while video/menu is playing? → Banners.
  

How it works together — examples

1. Only Your Offerings: menus and offers loop all day.
2. Your Offerings + Banners: menus and offers loop all day, and banners appear periodically in their area.
3. YouTube + Promotions + Banners: YouTube plays; banners are visible; when promo time comes — the promo takes over the whole screen; after it ends — YouTube and banners continue.
4. Row of screens: each screen has its own Your Offerings; on schedule a Promotion starts — all screens show one “super-wide” block; then each returns to its list.
   

*Easy to remember: Promotions are the most important (always on top). Banners sit over the base but below a promo. Your Offerings is what’s visible whenever nothing is covering it.
