What you can publish:

✔ Messages created with your company's presentation tools (converted to PDF)

✔ New messages created on the go

✔ Pictures

✔ Videos

You'll need a publishing link to get started. This will be sent to you in an email titled "Your access link to _ _ _" coming from no-reply@valota.live.


Create a post using your company's presentation tool

Using your company's presentation tool, eg. MS Powerpoint, you'll get the company look & feel to all of your messages without a hassle.

Create your message

Create the message with the presentation tool e.g. MS Powerpoint or use an existing presentation. Multiple pages or one page makes no difference.

Best practice is to have

  • max 250 characters in a page and

  • 6-8 pages per presentation at maximum

Save the presentation in PDF format

Choose the channel from My Content

All available My Content channels can be found from the drop-down tool:

Choose the media

Take your mouse on top of the Drag & Drop or choose your media field you can either drag&drop content there or use a file picker.

Supported file types can be seen in the app.

Note!
If you have video or everything is included in the presentation there is no need to add Text. When Text is added it takes half of the displays content area.

Best practice tip for videos

Create a thumbnail

When you upload a video you can create a thumbnail from a selected position in the video. Just scroll the video to the point you want a thumbnail from and activate the arrow in the box.

Set the Display time


How many seconds one page will be seen. If not modified length of a page comes from the App settings.


With multiple pages, you can adjust presentation time for each page separately.

Schedule the post

Set the Schedule by selecting the start date and time and /or the end date and time and then click ADD to save this setting

Scheduling your My Content post multiple times
