Multimedia

The multimedia page has been designed to manage the media files available by the composer, kiosk- or other Talemate-apps. This page differs somewhat based on how ZBOS Control is connected to the smart device (i.e. by using the local network or when connected using the cloud, is user logged in or not, …​).

Tap the option 'Multimedia' in the sidebar of ZBOS Control to display the following page:

select tab

  1. Tap the option 'Device' to view the files stored on the device

  2. Tap the option 'Cloud' to view the files stored in the cloud storage (1)

(1): The user needs to be logged in on the ZBOS Cloud before the Cloud tab will be shown.

However, the following features can be used in both tabs:
