07 - Control media playback by tags

Using tags you can limit media that belong to the same playlist to play on specific screens only as in the below example.

Playlist 1 has multiple media with multiple tags, and is published to 3 screens where Screen 1 has the tag “office1”, screen 2 has the tag “office 2” and screen 3 without tags

Each screen will play all media that have matching tags or media without tags as below diagram:
