FAQ
How does YouTube content appear on digital signage screens compared to regular YouTube viewing?
The app streams YouTube content directly to your screens using the official YouTube player, displaying videos in high-quality resolution up to Full HD. While the viewing experience is optimized for digital signage, standard YouTube policies regarding advertisements still apply based on the specific videos you select. For maximum control over content appearance, many organizations choose to feature their own channel videos or carefully selected content that aligns with their viewing environment and audience expectations.
Can I control audio levels for different environments?
Yes. The app includes a mute toggle for situations where audio would be disruptive or inappropriate. Many users implement audio-free video content in quiet environments like waiting rooms or work areas, while enabling sound in dedicated viewing zones or during specific times when ambient noise is acceptable.
Is it possible to display captions for accessibility or multi-language environments?
Yes. The app supports YouTube's closed captioning system, which can be enabled through a simple toggle in the settings panel. This feature improves content accessibility for hearing-impaired viewers and enhances comprehension in noisy environments or multilingual settings where viewers may prefer reading along.
What video quality options are available when playing YouTube content?
The app allows you to select your preferred video quality, including HD and Full HD options. While Fugo automatically chooses optimal quality based on your device and internet connection, you can manually adjust these settings to suit your specific requirements. This flexibility is particularly valuable when deploying screens across locations with varying network capabilities, ensuring consistent visual performance regardless of infrastructure differences.
