What is default composition? How do I set a default composition?
Default composition is a composition set to any screen that has no Quick Play or scheduled content assigned to it. This is also the composition that starts to play automatically whenever a new screen is added.
There are three ways to set the default composition. Follow the below steps:
Method 1- Assigning a default composition to individual screens
- Navigate to the Screen Details page and click on the pencil icon next to the Default Composition.
