Show famous quotes, or your own, as slides or in a text zone. Quotes are chosen at random from the category you pick, and change when your screen checks for updates.
What you’ll need
- The Pro plan or higher.
- A simple layout or slideshow zone (for quotes as slides), or a text zone in a multizone layout.
Steps
-
To show quotes as slides: open the layout (for a multizone layout, select the slideshow zone and click Details on the bar above it), click the Widgets tab and click Famous Quotes.
-
Choose a Category (Business, Happiness, Inspirational, Travel, or Custom (your own quotes)), a Background, the Number of quotes, and the Font, Text size and Text color. For Custom, add each quote under Your quotes with Add a quote, an optional Author and Add quote; you need at least one. Click Add to playlist, then Save layout (Save slideshow in a zone).
-
To show quotes in a text zone: select the text zone, click Details on the bar above it on the canvas and open the Famous Quotes tab. Choose a category (or Custom (your own quotes)), how many quotes to show and the Seconds each, and click Add quotes. They appear with your other paragraphs under What this zone shows and use the zone’s font, size and color. Click Save details; your screens show the change shortly.
