This guide is part of How to Use ScreenCloud for Digital Signage, a collection of sub-guides that help you learn about using ScreenCloud Studio and the features it contains.

Your Media Library is where all the images, documents and videos you upload to ScreenCloud are stored. Once a file is in your library, you can add it to a playlist or channel, or set it directly on a screen. Everything below happens in the Media section of ScreenCloud Studio.

Go to Media and select Upload. You can upload content from the following sources:

ScreenCloud supports a wide range of file types across images, documents, and videos. For the full list, refer to the ScreenCloud Content Management: Supported File Types & How Content Is Converted article.

If you already have folders set up, you can upload straight into one. Click the folder you want to add content to.

Click on the Upload button to start adding media directly into the folder selected.

Hover over any piece of content and click on the pencil icon. You’ll be able to start editing the name for your media.

Once you’ve finished making your changes, press Enter on your keyboard for the name to update.

You can also change the name of any piece of media by clicking on it from your Media Library and editing the name from your media options.

Click on the New Folder icon.

A new folder will appear that you can name. You can start dragging and dropping content or apps into the folder.

Click any piece of content with your mouse, hold your press while you drag and drop it into a folder.

Hover over your folder and click on the pencil icon that appears to change the name of your folder.

Hover over the star icon underneath any piece of content. Click this to favourite the item so you can find it again easily.

You can also mark a folder as a favourite.

Use the following commands on your computer keyboard to select multiple items.

macOS: Hold Cmd ⌘

Windows: Hold Ctrl or Shift

You can select as many pieces of media as you’d like. You can either bulk delete or create new folders for all of the media selected.

With items selected, you can also perform bulk actions using the toolbar navigation in the upper-right-hand corner. Use this to add tags for quick searches, or add items in bulk to playlists.

Use any keywords or tags in the search bar to quickly find the content you need.

When viewing a media file, you can add Tags by writing them in and creating new ones, or by selecting existing ones.

To search by tag, once it has been applied to media, you can search by writing "tag:[tag name]". For example, to search for the media item above by tag, one would write "tag:visual". For a full walkthrough of how to use search and tags to manage your media, see Using Search and Tags to Manage Your Media in ScreenCloud.

How long each item displays on screen depends on its type:

To configure duration, add your media to a playlist or channel and adjust timing there. See Change the duration of content in a playlist for full details.

You can control when media is visible on your screens by setting an availability (start) date and an expiration (end) date. This is useful for time-sensitive content such as promotions, seasonal messaging, or event-specific material.

Dates can be set on individual media items or applied across multiple items at once using the bulk update toolbar in your Media Library. See Setting Up Availability & Expiration Dates For Media Using ScreenCloud for full details.

The Find & Replace feature not only allows you to know in which playlist or channel a media item is located, but it also allows you to replace this media item with a new one with just a few clicks. This removes the need to go digging into your Playlist or Channel to remove your individual media item and then upload a new one in its place.
​
Please see Find & Replace: Find and swap existing content in a channel and playlist guide to learn about using the feature.

Click on the three-horizontal dots for the settings drop-down menu on any piece of media. Select Delete and you’ll be prompted to delete the media.

Click on the three-horizontal dots for the settings drop-down menu for your folder. Select Delete and you’ll be prompted to delete the folder.

Hover over the Share option for any folder. You can select Share to share this folder of content between any of your Spaces managed in your ScreenCloud organization. Please note, you can only manage or add content to the folder by accessing it in the Space it was created. For example, if you created a folder "Office" in your "New York" space then you would need to access the Media Library from there to make changes.
