alexa-signage-navTurn on simple content to automatically show on your Alexa devices.

Each night, we will create a slide with your content. It will rotate on your Alexas and TVs if selected. 

You can select a Group to send simple signage to. 

View or preview Alexa slides in Speak2. You can create Alexa slides in Prntyr, but they will be viewed in Speak2 > Alexa Signage. 

 

Simple signage is created overnight. If you make a change the day of, you must delete the slide. It will not update. 

You cannot "edit" an existing slide that has been sent to Alexa.

  1. You will create a NEW slide by clicking "Save"
  2. DELETE the slide if it is no longer correct. 

This is an Amazon limitation.
