The sidebar is 100% yours. Only custom content plays in this area of the screen, for 30 seconds at a time. So, create as many messages as you can think of! Here are a few suggestions:

• add your physician(s) bio(s)
• add your practice website address.
• what new products or services are your offering?
• what information is on your website that you could also add as messages on Mediplay?
• with the arrival of spring, do any season or weather related facts affect your patients?
• how can your patients best get more information about your practice and their doctor?
• how can your patients best provide their information to you?

Today we’re excited to announce that we’re well on the way to achieving that dream, with the release of our new subscriber portal — your online headquarters for managing your Mediplay system*. Simply log in to the system using your web browser, and with a just few clicks of your mouse, you can manage practically everything that you see onscreen. The portal is your online headquarters to change your programming, organize media players, users and locations, and more.

Main features at a glance:

• Online topic library > Browse and preview all of our researched content!
• Manage your playlist by adding and removing topics whenever you desire
• Upload and manage custom messages
• Mange your fader announcements
• Add or edit users, grant specific permission levels
• Create player groups to aid in assigning content to multiple locations
• And much more to come!

We’re incredibly excited about this system and how it will affect your ability to reach your patients, and are sure that you will be too. And while we’ve done our best to keep things simple, we know that change is still change, and it can take time to get up to speed. To help you get comfortable with the system as quickly as possible, we’ve created a number of screencasts that cover many of the new features and capabilities, and we’ll be adding more in the weeks to come.

As a version 1.0 software release, we’re thrilled about this next big step, but there’s still so much left to do! We’re continuously pursuing new ideas to make Mediplay even simpler to use and more accessible for you.  And as we fine-tune our latest software, look for new features that streamline managing content, while keeping the high caliber of programming you expect.

*Subscriber portal available to Mediplay subscribers who signed up  10/09 and later (due to hardware and software compatibility). Other subscribers are encouraged to contact the Mediplay support team to learn about upgrading your system to the latest and greatest so you too can take advantages of all the subscriber portal has to offer.
