There might be a couple of reasons that can be the cause of no content being visible on the Display, divided in this article into General Reasons and App Based Reasons. Step by step we will provide you a few things that can be done to solve the problem. Let's go! 💪

If the Display doesn't show any content and it looks like in the picture below (it is showing your company's or Valotalive's logo), there are several possible reasons why this is happening.

Check if you have assigned a Flow or an App to your Display.

Further instructions how to check these:

➡️ Add an App to a single Display

➡️ Assign a Flow to a single Display

If you have forgotten to add content to the assigned Flow your display has only the logo to show. Read how to add content to a Flow:

➡️ Create a Flow - a fully automated content playlist

The Display might have problems connecting to the internet and Valotalive cloud, and therefore unable to show contents.

Please check from the Displays tab if the symbol next to the Displays name is green or red, and what information the display states regarding when it last fetched any new contents.

If the Display is offline, try first to reboot the Media Player. If that does not help, please contact Valotalive for further support.

The most common content App is the My Content Channel App, that you can publish messages to the Displays. Sometimes there is nothing to show. The previous posts maybe outdated, or nobody has published anything yet, therefore there is nothing to show.

Learn how to publish messages with My Content Channel App.

Some content sources like MS Teams need more time to pull the content and it can take up to 3 minutes until the content is fetched.

….You have been patient but nothing has happened, continue with the next step.

To refresh your device completely and ensure you're using the most up-to-date information, you can perform a hard reload.

Choose Displays | All displays and select the display you wish to operate

Choose "REMOTE CONTROL" tab on the left side.

Click on "Hard reload"

Go to My account | Service Integrations to reauthorize the integration between Valotalive and your content source. All Access tokens expire after a while, and this is the most common reason for content failure with integrated contents.

​Caution: REVOKING authorization will delete all linked apps. Avoid using REVOKE unless it's necessary to completely disconnect all apps from a specific account.

Check if the credentials used for the authentication do have adequate privileges.

As steps for you to get ahead in getting the info to the screens, these are a couple of things to check:

*Entra ID known previously as Azure AD

Last but not least, if none of the previous steps were successful, please do not hesitate to contact us. With your permission, we will transfer one of our Displays into your account for further investigation.
