How to Activate and Expire Media Validity?

For clients who need to ensure certain media is only active at specific times, Media Validity allows you to set specific dates for your media content to be displayed on your digital signage. Once content expires, it becomes inactive in your media library so you can activate it again when needed.

Tip: Media Validity is perfect for scenarios such as, current specials/deals, birthdays/workiversaries, & time-sensitive announcements.

What You’ll Need:

• A compatible digital signage player e.g. Mvix, BrightSign, etc.
• Mvix CMS Software with a supported feature package
• Internet Connectivity

If you meet the requirements listed above, simply follow the steps below to learn how expired media works.
