Why Isn't Content Showing on Your Display?

Display blank or showing only logo? Don't worry! This guide helps troubleshoot content issues, covering general and app-specific reasons đŸ’Ș

No Content Assigned to Your Display

If your display is blank, only showing your company's or Valotalive's logo and the display name, it likely doesn't have any content assigned.

Display showing only a logo with the display name in it

To fix this, you'll need to add an app or a flow with apps to it:

Valotalive Display without any Content assignements - No Apps No Flows


No Content in the Assigned Flow

Even if a Flow is assigned, it might be empty! If you haven't added content to the Flow, your display will only show the logo.

Display With a Flow But Without Active Content Apps

Learn how to add content to a Flow:


App Based Reasons

Be patient

Some integrations may take a few minutes to fetch content. Please wait a moment before continuing.


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


Clear Display Cache using the Hard Reload command

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"


Reauthorize your contents

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.

Authorization needs to be again and simplest is to go to My Account - Service integration and press REAUTHORIZE - REAUTHORISE

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 Credentials

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:

  1. Entra ID*: Check that the Valotalive Digital Signage Application is on the approved list

  2. Entra ID: A user operating Valotalive has permissions on the Entra ID


*Entra ID known previously as Azure AD


My Content Channel App

Why is My Content Channel App not showing any content?

The My Content Channel app displays messages published by your team. If nothing is showing on screen, all previous posts may have expired or no content has been published to this channel yet.

My Content Channel's Gallery: The gallery is empty — all previous posts have expired or no content has been published yet.


Contents coming from JSON or RSS data feeds

Why is my JSON or RSS feed content not showing on my display?

If your display is not showing content from a JSON or RSS feed, follow these steps to identify whether the issue is with the data source or the Valotalive integration.

Before You Start

Ask yourself: Has this content ever worked on screen?

  • Never worked → Contact support@valota.live with your App ID from the app's Information tab

  • Worked before but stopped → Continue with the steps below

Step 1 – Check the Data Feed Directly

Open the feed URL in a separate browser tab and check what you see:

What you see

What it means

Blank or white page

The data source is not updating — common with lunch menu type feeds

Limited or outdated data

The feed is not being updated by the source

Correct and current data

The feed is working — contact support@valota.live

Step 2 – Identify Who Manages the Data Feed

  • Feed managed by a third-party service provider → Contact your service provider directly — the data contract is between your company and the provider

  • Feed managed by Valotalive → Contact support@valota.live


Still Not Working?

Contact support@valota.live and include:

  • The App ID from the app's Information tab

  • The feed URL

  • A screenshot of the feed page as it appears in your browser

If the issue remains unresolved, we can transfer one of our own displays into your account for further investigation — just give us permission to do so.

Allow Valotalive to transfer a Display into your Account for further Investigation

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.
