Questions
Can I use it as an image viewer on the projector?
Yes. Paste a link to a picture and it fills the card. Full screen shows it large on the projector, and Fit keeps the whole picture in view.
Can I show a picture from my computer?
Yes, on the board. Upload a file there takes a PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP picture up to 25 MB, and the screen keeps it in your account. On this page, paste a link that starts with https://.
Where are my pictures kept?
A picture you upload on the board is kept in your account with the screen. Free holds 250 MB of files. A link stays a link: your browser draws the picture from the site it is on.
Can I turn or crop the picture?
Yes. Turn it with the slider or the arrow keys, from 0 to 360 degrees. Fill covers the card and cuts off the edges, and with Fit a soft copy of a photo can fill the space beside it.
