Biggest opportunity: Swap “slider” and “remote screen” for “signage” and “tv shows”. “slider” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “signage” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “remote screen” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “tv shows” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 300 of 21.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,321 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I am using this system at a campground – yes, at campground to display information to my campers and visitors. I love it because the content can be dynamically updated from my wordpress website by anybody. I had tried other systems but updates needed to be done by me – with it being done on my website, then my wife or one of our employees can easily do real-time updates. Highly recommend it!

    We are using this plugin in our waiting room in our dental clinic it is a great way to display useful information especially using the split screen functionality where you can split your screen in two different view. It was a life changing functionality and made things much more easier for us. Thank you team for this great plugin.

    A perfect solution to show rich presentations on a large screen on company premises or shop window. I see the main strength in how easy you can edit and update the content – just like you would do that on your website.
