new Cloud Retailer Help Desk https://helpdesk.cloudretailer.com. Here's what you need to do: 1) Use PowerPoint to create your slideshow. On the "Transitions" tab make sure to set the "Advance Slide" option so that a specific slide in the presentation advances to the next slid automatically after a certain number of seconds. You may have to play with this setting somewhat as it seems the number of seconds does not work out precisely with what the customer sees. 2) Once you've built a slide show go to "Save As" in PowerPoint and choose the MPEG-4 option. This will render your slideshow as a video. Review the output to make sure it's what you want. 3) Upload the video to the back office (Admin - Misc - Global Attachments). Note the URL by opening the uploaded attachment into a new tab: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <title>The video</title> </head> <body style="margin:0"> <video controls="" autoplay="" loop=""> <source src="YOUR_VIDEO_URL_HERE" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> </body> </html> 5) Upload this HTML file as an attachment and then configure it as content in the customer display module. Once the video runs, it will auto-repeat. |
