Reorder playlist items in bulk and find empty screens

Shared by Tim •

You can now move several playlist items at once and see which screens have nothing to play. You can also publish playlists to each zone right after saving a layout, check a screen's playlists and properties from its sidebar, connect Fugo to Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft 365 Copilot, and start a video wall design in Studio, so keeping the right content on your screens takes less work.

Publish playlists to zones from the layout flow

After you save a new layout that's on at least one screen, Fugo asks what should play in each zone, so you can get zoned content onto your screens without leaving the layout.

Publish content to your zones dialog with a playlist chosen for each zone of a new layout
  • Save a new layout. In Publish content to your zones, pick a playlist for each zone, choose Create a new playlist, or choose Keep as is. Then click Publish.
  • Fugo publishes each playlist to that zone on every screen that uses the layout. Playlists already in a zone keep playing there.
  • To do this later, open the layout's sidebar and click Publish to zones.
  • Adding zones while you edit is also clearer, with one main action per step.
  • When you assign a layout to a screen with a different shape, Fugo marks it Different shape. You can still assign it.

For more on zones, see the Layouts Overview.

Reorder several playlist items at once

Select several items in a playlist and drag them together to a new position, which makes reorganizing long playlists much quicker.

Playlist editor with three items selected for moving together
  • Open a playlist and select items with their checkboxes. Shift-click selects a range, and Cmd-click or Ctrl-click adds or removes one item.
  • Drag the selection to its new position. The items keep the order they were in.
  • If only part of a long playlist is showing, show all items first to drag the selection together.

For more on playlists, see the Playlists Overview.

Find screens with nothing to play

Fugo now points out screens that have no published playlist, so you can spot and fix blank screens quickly.

Screens table filtered to No playlist, with red No playlist labels under each screen name
  • On Home, the Screens card shows a red count of empty screens. Click it to open the Screens page filtered to those screens.
  • On the Screens page, use the No playlist filter in the table, grid, or map view.
  • Screens without a playlist also show a red No playlist label.

See a screen's playlists and properties in its sidebar

A screen's sidebar now lists the playlists that play on it and the screen's properties, so you can check a screen without leaving the Screens page.

Screen sidebar with the Playlists section expanded, showing one published playlist with its thumbnail and status
  • Select a screen on the Screens page to open its sidebar.
  • Expand Playlists to see each playlist's thumbnail and status. Click a playlist to open it.
  • Under Properties, you'll see the properties that have a value for this screen.

For more on managing screens, see the Screens Overview.

Connect Fugo to Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft 365 Copilot

Settings now has a place to connect Fugo to Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft 365 Copilot, so you can publish content and manage your screens from your AI assistant.

Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot logos
  • Open Settings and select the Integrations tab, then find Fugo in your AI assistant.
  • On the Claude card, click Setup guide for the steps.
  • For ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or another AI tool that supports MCP, copy the MCP server URL, add it to your tool as a remote MCP server, and complete the one-time sign-in to Fugo.

For more on connecting assistants, see the Fugo MCP Overview.

Start a video wall design in Studio

You can now set up a video wall when you create a design in Studio, so the canvas matches your wall from the start.

Studio Create design window with Video wall options for Columns, Rows, and Each screen
  • In Studio, click Create, then choose Video wall or custom size… in the Create design window.
  • Under Video wall, set the Columns, Rows, Each screen, and Screen orientation. Fugo works out the canvas size for you.
  • To change an existing design, open it and click the canvas resolution.

Other improvements

  • Hardware finder: on the Screens page, open the Help & Documentation menu and choose Find compatible hardware for suggestions on suitable signage hardware.
  • Studio interaction tracking: choose whether each screen counts taps on Studio touch elements for reporting. Find it in the screen's settings under Advanced, below Proof of play. It's off by default.
  • Rename connections: rename a custom credential connection with Rename on its details page in Settings > Connections, which helps when several use the same login host.
  • Triggers: the list view is now a table you can sort by name, type, status, or last update, and you can choose which columns to show.
  • Media: switch the Media page to List view, and hover over or focus on a file's name to see it in full.
  • Uploads in Studio: Upload media in Studio's Uploads tab opens the same picker as the rest of Fugo.
  • Dashboards: dashboards now sit at the top of the content navigation.
  • Planner: always-on playlists are hidden from the Planner calendar by default, so dated schedules are easier to read. Use the ∞ button in the calendar toolbar to show them.
  • Studio designs in playlists: a Studio design in a playlist links straight to its editor.

Fixes

Updating a layout keeps its shape again. In Studio, an image keeps its fit setting when you double-click or cut it, the left navigation no longer disappears, and the Ken Burns effect is only offered for images, not videos. Re-paired screens stay visible in grouped Screens tables, the "Live updates paused" pop-up no longer appears, and dashboard credentials now flag an invalid authenticator secret before you save.
