Kitcast Digital Signage Features

Q: Does Kitcast support SSO and SCIM?

SAML SSO is available with Google and Microsoft identity providers. SCIM provisioning works with Azure AD and Google Workspace, with additional providers supported by request. Both are available on the Pro tier.

Q: How does offline playback work?

Content is cached locally on each device. If internet connectivity drops, the player continues showing the last-synced content indefinitely. When the connection returns, new content syncs automatically. This works the same way across every supported platform.

Q: Which platforms support proof-of-play?

All platforms. Proof-of-play is a dashboard-level feature that works across every supported device. It logs what content played, when, and on which screen.

Manage content, devices, security, and analytics across every major signage platform — from one Kitcast dashboard.

Features

Content Management & Scheduling

Everything teams need to build, organize, and automate content across their screen network — from drag-and-drop playlists to time-of-day scheduling.

Playlist Editor

Drag-and-drop interface for building content sequences. Reorder items visually, set duration per slide, and mix media types in one playlist. Multi-zone layouts split the screen into independent regions — show a video in one zone and a live data feed in another.

500+ Templates

Pre-built layouts organized by category — menus, corporate comms, education, retail promotions. Customize colors, text, and images, or deploy as-is. A practical starting point for teams without dedicated designers.

Scheduling & Dayparting

Set start/end dates, recurring schedules, and time-of-day rules. Dayparting automates content by time block — breakfast menu at 7am, lunch at 11am, promos at 5pm. No manual switching required.

Media Library

Centralized storage for all content assets. Upload images, video (Full HD, 4K), audio, PDFs, and presentations. Everything your team needs in one searchable location.

AI Content Generation AI

Describe what you want on screen — Kitcast generates it. Type a prompt, get ready-to-use content for your displays. Best for internal comms, quick announcements, and placeholder content when you need to move fast without a designer.

Offline Playback

Content is cached locally on each device. If connectivity drops, the player continues showing the last-synced content indefinitely. When internet returns, new content syncs automatically. Same behavior across every supported platform.

Dashboard shows live/offline status per device with heartbeat tracking. You see immediately when a screen goes down — no waiting for someone to notice a blank display in the lobby.

Who needs this: IT admins, facilities managers, multi-location operations.
Critical when: 10+ screens, distributed locations, no on-site IT staff.
Before buying, verify: offline cache behavior, device restart policies, monitoring alerting.
