FAQ
How quickly do new assets appear on screens after adding them to Canto?
New content appears on your screens within minutes of being added to your connected Canto collections. The system regularly checks for updates and automatically refreshes your displays to include new photos or videos. This synchronization happens without manual intervention, making it ideal for environments that require frequent content updates.
What file types from my Canto library will display properly on screens?
The app supports most common image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) and video formats (MP4, MOV) stored in your Canto collections. For optimal performance, we recommend using compressed image files under 5MB and videos optimized for display. The system automatically handles file transcoding to ensure proper playback across different screen types.
Can I control which specific Canto collections appear on different screens?
Yes. During setup, you can designate a root folder for each Fugo space, which establishes the base level of access for all Canto app instances within that space. From there, you can create multiple instances of the Canto app, each connected to different collections within that root folder.
This hierarchy allows you to target specific content to appropriate screens - product photography on retail displays, company events on lobby screens, and internal communications on team area displays - all while maintaining centralized asset management and proper access controls.
Is it possible to use Canto content alongside other apps on my screens?
Absolutely. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can resize the Canto app to occupy a specific zone on your screen, allowing you to display additional content simultaneously. Common configurations include pairing your brand assets with weather information, news feeds, or social media content for more dynamic, engaging displays.
