Notes

  • A billboard layout may have either a bar overlay or a column overlay.
  • When overlay content does not fit within the layout, it scrolls vertically.
  • When a video is used as the background, it plays automatically and does not have audio.
  • A billboard layout displays background media as large as possible to fill the available width. When the background media's aspect ratio is different from the layout's aspect ratio, the background will be cut off at the top and bottom. It's recommended to use this layout for decoration, rather than for displaying content that must be fully visible at all times.
