Creative use · Video

Loop video on the TV without turning the whole screen into a video file.

Use uploaded video full-screen or compose it with a headline, price, QR code or other screen elements, then publish changes through the same managed-screen workflow.

Video remains one layer

Keep the motion separate from the text that changes.

This editable motion-ready layout reserves a hero region for video and separate regions for headlines, scores, prices, or calls to action, so every copy edit does not require a new export.

Video that still behaves like a Canvas Relay board

Full-screen loop

Use a video asset as the main visual for an ambient display, promotion, gallery wall or motion backdrop.

Video + overlay

Keep the motion separate from editable text, QR or other layout elements instead of baking every future change into the source video.

Remote replacement

Publish a new board/release when the media changes rather than manually swapping files on the device.

Fallback-conscious design

Choose posters and layouts that remain understandable while media loads or when a particular player has a known capability boundary.

Offline-ready players

Player-class devices are built around complete cached releases so supported media can keep playing through network interruptions.

Platform-aware publishing

Roku and browser/Pi-style players do not have identical renderers. Compatibility should be visible before an unsupported board reaches a screen.

Review the current player status and pick the best fit for video-heavy boards.

Start with a screen composition designed around motion rather than a blank canvas.

Questions, answered

01Can Canvas Relay loop uploaded video?+

Yes. Uploaded video is a supported scene element and can be used for full-screen loops or as part of a composed board.

02Can I put text or a QR code over the video?+

Yes. The free-position canvas lets supported text, shapes, widgets and other elements share the scene with video.

03Does video support vary by player?+

Yes. Media/rendering capabilities can differ by platform, so choose the player path that supports the board you are building and test the exact hardware for unattended playback.

Put the video inside a real screen layout.

Try the editor, add the motion, and keep the parts you expect to change as editable Canvas Relay elements.
