Turn a TV into an art or ambient display

Use your own Media images or AI-generated artwork in full-bleed scenes while keeping Canvas Relay's normal publish/management controls.

What you may be seeing

  • You want a TV to behave like an ambient art/gallery display rather than a menu or announcement board.

What usually causes it

  • Canvas Relay can use uploaded or AI-generated images as normal editable media; it does not include a licensed museum-art catalog.

Do this

  1. Start from the Art / ambient demo example or a photo/art template.
  2. Upload your artwork to Media or generate a signage-ready image in Relay Assistant. AI output is saved to Media first and is not auto-published.
  3. Place the image as a full-bleed element or background, choose contain/cover intentionally, and keep overlays minimal if you want a gallery look.
  4. Publish and assign the board to the TV. For a rotating gallery, use multiple scenes or the slideshow widget instead of flattening the art into a video.

You know it is fixed when

  • The artwork fills the intended TV area without unintended cropping and later changes can be published remotely.

Worth knowing

  • Only use media you have the right to display. AI-generated media remains a normal Media asset you control.
