Adding a Countdown Clock


You may want to show a countdown clock on your screens in preparation for an event or a particular time in the day. 

You can add a countdown from the TrilbyTV Smart Content, which will show days, hours, minutes and seconds until the end time you specify. You can also configure colours, background image and a title to create a custom version to fit in with your branding


Adding a Countdown Clock

From your Home Feed go to Add - Smart Content

Click on Countdown and Add to feed

Optionally add a message to the top of your Countdown screen like "It's lunchtime in"

You can enter a date OR a time OR both. 

If you plan on using the clock to inform students that they need to be at a lesson at 11:00 AM, then put the time in and leave the date blank. If you are counting down to Christmas day, then just put in the date and leave the time blank.

Set font and colour choices

If you want to add a background image use the search to find an image from the Unsplash library

then Save and close

The Countdown will be added to your feed and will need to be approved before it is displayed.


To show the count down at a specific time each day, use a Schedule. For more information on how to set up a schedule, check out our Using Schedules help guide.
