What is Screen Score?
Screen Score captures a screenshot of your active screen content, analyses it across six key dimensions, and returns:
An overall score out of 100
A breakdown across six content categories
Actionable suggestions to improve your signage
It's entirely user-initiated. Nothing is captured or analysed until you ask for it.
How to get a score
Step 1 — Go to your Screen
Head to Screens in the left-hand sidebar and open the screen you want to score.
You'll see a live preview of what's currently playing.
Step 2 — Start the score
Look for the "Screen Scores" button below the screen preview.
If you are using Screen Score for the first time, select the "Let's try now button" when prompted.
This will then enabled the feature in your account, represented by a purple record button, which lets you know that you can "Click to capture the moment and score".
Click this button to begin scoring your screen.
Can't see the button? Screen Score is not yet supported on iOS, iPadOS, Browser / Web player, Google Meet, Zoom Rooms, Web, or Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Step 3 — Wait a moment
A window will open showing your content with a "Preparing your score" message. The AI takes just a few seconds to analyse the screenshot.
Step 4 — Review your results
Once ready, your results appear in the right-hand sidebar. Here's what you'll see:
Overall Score
A single number out of 100, with a summary and rating badge:
Score | Rating |
80–100 | ✅ Great |
60–79 | 🟡 Good |
40–59 | 🟠 Needs Improvement |
0–39 | 🔴 Needs Work |
Category Breakdown
Six scores give you a more detailed picture:
Visual Design — layout, colour, and visual hierarchy
Readability — font size, contrast, and legibility
Message Clarity — how clearly your core message comes across
Audience Relevance — how well the content fits your intended audience
Content Layout — structure and use of space
Brand Consistency — alignment with your brand standards
Recommendations
A numbered list of specific, practical suggestions you can act on straight away.
Step 5 — Compare scores over time
The left panel of the results window shows a history of scored moments for that screen — each with a thumbnail, the creator's name, and a score badge. Click through to compare how your content has improved over time.
You can access your collection of scores using the Screen Scores button and thumbnails, which remains available under your screen preview so you can compare results at any time.
Step 6 — Rate the score
At the bottom of the results panel, you'll see 👍 / 👎 buttons. Use these to tell us if the score was helpful — your feedback goes directly into improving the feature.

Frequently asked questions
The score doesn't look right. What should I do?
First, check that the captured image matches what you expected to see on screen. Then try re-running the score with a clear Communication Goal set. This gives the AI useful context and often improves the result.
Why can't I see the Screen Score button?
Screen Score is currently available for most paired players through the Screens page, except for the platforms listed below, as they do not screen image capture functionality.
iOS / iPadOS
Browser / Web Player (TBC)
Google Meet
Zoom Rooms
Microsoft Teams Rooms
What happens to the screenshot?
Your screenshot is processed in real time and stored by ScreenCloud after scoring. It is not used to train any AI models, and it's not shared with third parties beyond what's needed to deliver the feature. For full details, visit trust.screencloud.com.
Is there anything I should keep in mind?
Yes. A few things worth keeping in mind:
Screenshots may capture personal data visible on screen at the time. You're responsible for making sure you have the right to submit that content.
Never submit sensitive personal data (such as health, biometric, or racial/ethnic information) through Screen Score.
Screen Score outputs are recommendations only. They're there to guide you, not to make decisions automatically. A human should always review the suggestions before acting on them.
Who owns the output?
The recommendations generated by Screen Score belong to you (subject to applicable IP law). They're provided as-is, without any warranty on accuracy or completeness.
