Screenly 26.11.0: Workspace settings have a new design

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Workspace settings are easier to find your way around and calmer to work in. Each area has a page of its own, so you see one set of settings at a time instead of a long row of tabs.

Click “Settings” in the sidebar and the sidebar becomes the settings menu:

General
Security
Members
Linked workspaces
Notifications
Integrations
Billing & subscription

Settings also explain themselves now. Each one says what it does right next to it, instead of in a tooltip you had to find, and when your plan or your role doesn’t allow something, the page tells you why, in place. You can set things up without opening the docs or asking support what a setting means.

Every page works the same way, with settings grouped into clear sections.

Billing and plans

Billing & subscription puts your plan, its status, the next billing date, and how many screen licenses are in use on one page. When something needs your attention, like a failed payment or a free trial with no card on file, it says so at the top, next to the button that fixes it. Members who don’t manage billing get a read-only version of the page, with the plan and usage but not payments or invoices, so they can check the plan without asking around.

A new Plans page compares Starter, Business, and Enterprise side by side, with monthly and yearly prices.

Roles

Settings > Members has a Roles page that shows what each built-in role can do, and the Members page shows what your own role allows.

A confirmation before anything hard to undo

Actions you can’t easily take back now ask first. Leaving a workspace, for example, asks you to type its name before it goes through, and turning off an alert channel asks you to confirm.

Screenly 26.11.0: The dashboard updates in real time, starting with the screen page

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The dashboard now keeps a live connection to Screenly, so a change shows up the moment it happens instead of the next time you refresh. When several people look after the same screens, everyone sees the same thing at the same time, and nobody acts on a page that went out of date 5 minutes ago.

The screen page is the first to work this way. Leave a screen open and it keeps itself current:

A teammate renames the screen, edits its location or notes, or disables it, and you see it right away.
The screen’s connection to Screenly drops or comes back, and the page shows it.
A screenshot you asked for appears as soon as the screen sends it.

If your own connection drops for a moment, the page catches up on whatever it missed as soon as it’s back.

Screenly 26.11.0: Sign-in codes now last 30 minutes instead of 10

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The code we email you to sign in now works for 30 minutes, up from 10. An email that arrives late, or a code you read on your phone and type on your laptop, is still good by the time you enter it, and the email itself says how long you have.

You still get 5 tries at each code.

Screenly 26.11.0: Email sign-ups start in the Lobby, and other improvements

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fixes

Renaming a screen to more than 255 characters under Screens > a screen > Settings now says “Screen name should be at most 255 characters long.” under the name field, instead of failing with a generic error.
On API v4.1, saving a screen whose name or location is over 255 characters, or whose notes are over 65,536, returns an error that names the field and its limit, instead of a generic error.
Creating an API token with a name you already use, under Settings > Security > API tokens, now shows “Token name already in use” under the name field and keeps the name you typed, instead of a toast and an empty field.

Improvements

The “Connect screen” dialog accepts screen names up to 255 characters, up from 50.
Signing up with an email address now works like signing up with Google: instead of getting a workspace created for you, you create your first one in the Lobby. Your free trial starts when you create that workspace, not when you sign up.
