Tips & troubleshooting

Wrong time

The clock follows the Player's time zone.

Change format

Switch the 24-hour format.

Hard to read

Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background color.

Content does not appear

Check that the instance is assigned to the correct screen/layout and that the Player is online.
