3. Click Repost.
4. You will see a success banner, and the Newsflash will fire on the TV channel if you are near one.

Replay a Newsflash

Replaying opens a personal browser preview of a Newsflash without firing it on the TV.

1. Locate the Newsflash you want to review.
2. Click the Replay button at the bottom of the Newsflash detail.
3. A new browser window opens and plays the Newsflash.

Verify

• Your Activity feed displays filtered activities based on your selections.
• Likes and comments appear below the activities you interacted with.
• For reposted Newsflashes, you see a success banner and the Newsflash fires on nearby TVs.
• For replayed Newsflashes, a new browser window opens showing the Newsflash.

If it doesn’t work

Cannot see the Repost button: By default, only admins listed as players or watchers on the Newsflash can repost. Your admin must adjust permissions settings within each Newsflash configuration to allow non-admins to repost.

Activity feed shows unexpected content: Verify your filter selections. The feed shows activities from players assigned the same content as you or content you are watching.

To Do section is empty: The To Do area only displays items waiting for your action, such as personalizing Newsflashes and responding to Challenges. If you have no pending actions, this section will be empty.
