You can use your own players  to clone content. When you clone the content, you can view on your own screen what is playing on the player and if the user experiences difficulties on screen. If you are in the possession of a player, which you would like to use for cloning content of your users to, you can send the MAC ID of the player to the Servicecenter and they will connect it to your panel. You can find the MAC ID on a sticker on the bottom of the hardware. As soon as the player has been connected it will appear in [Players].
