What it does
Put France 24's latest international news on your screens, refreshed on their own. Pick a layout — a single story, a full-screen cover, a rolling list — and optionally show a QR code so people can keep reading on their phone. Nothing to set up: the feed is built in.
Every app in the catalogue is part of the plan. There is no app store, no per-app charge and nothing held back for a higher tier.
How to display France 24 news on a screen
France 24's English-language news, on a screen in a lobby, a classroom or a meeting area. The app is preset to France 24's English feed, so it works as soon as you add it.
- 01
Add the app
In the dashboard, open Apps and add France 24.
- 02
Choose a layout
Cover lets the photo fill the screen. Kinetic makes the typography the centrepiece. Pick either, or one of the other eight, under Layout.
- 03
Theme, QR code, number of stories
Choose Light or Dark under Theme. Leave Show QR code on if people will walk up to the screen. In Feed Settings, set How many stories from 1 to 20; the default is 6.
- 04
Put it on a screen
Add the app to a playlist, give it a duration and publish it to the screen.
Good to know
France 24 in English
The app reads France 24's English-language feed. The address is built in, so there is nothing to fill in.
Refreshes every five minutes
The app checks France 24's feed every five minutes and brings new stories to the screen by itself.
Last stories stay offline
If the screen loses the internet, it carries on with the stories it already has and updates when it is back online.
Questions about this app

The headline and, where the feed has one, a photo. Some layouts add a short summary, and the QR code opens the article on France 24's site.
Yes. Put both in the same playlist to take turns, or use the Zones app to show them side by side.
Something for every kind of screen.
Install what you need and ignore the rest. Nothing here is an add-on you pay extra for.
