WHAT IS TICKERTAPE?

Tickertape is a bar at the bottom of the screen or at the side of the screen that shows information. You can use tickertape for basically any information that always needs to be on screen all the time. The content of the tickertape is always displayed on top of the content that is playing on screen. We have different tickertapes, which display the information in different ways. You have the possibility to connect information from a RSS feed to the tickertape (the headlines will be displayed) or to fill in your own content in the tickertape (by using Happening). Read more about the different tickertapes that are available, here.
