How to add Touch Zones
- If you want to add interactive media that does not need a button to start, such as a website, you will need to make a zone in the template for the media you would like to be touch enabled.
- Once you have created the proper zone, click the gear icon on the bottom right of the zone to open an “Advanced Settings” window.
- Toggle the “Convert to touch zone” switch. This will enable the media displayed in this zone will have touch functionality.
Interactive Playlists
- You can also add an interactive playlist to your touch capable media, by selecting “Interactive Playlist” under the playlist drop down menu.
- Create the playlist as you would a regular playlist. It will display as an interactive playlist via the touch icon that will show when the media is selected.
