FAQ
How frequently do the ESPN headlines update on my screens?
The app checks for new headlines approximately every 10 minutes, ensuring your displayed content remains current throughout the day. This automatic refresh happens in the background without interrupting the viewing experience. When major sports news breaks, your screens will typically display these updates within the next refresh cycle.
Can I display multiple sports categories simultaneously?
Yes. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can create a multi-zone layout with separate ESPN app instances showing different sports categories. This configuration allows you to display collegiate sports headlines alongside professional league updates or combine general sports news with sport-specific feeds on a single screen.
Is it possible to control how long each headline appears before transitioning?
Absolutely. The "Next Post Delay" setting allows you to specify exactly how many seconds each headline remains on screen before transitioning to the next update. Most users find 8-12 seconds optimal for headline readability, though environments with faster foot traffic may benefit from shorter intervals.
Will the ESPN app work alongside other content in a playlist rotation?
Yes. You can set a specific duration for the ESPN app within your content playlist, allowing it to display for a predetermined time before transitioning to other content types. Many businesses rotate sports headlines with promotional materials, company announcements, or other live feeds to create a dynamic, engaging screen experience.
