## Weather Widget for Digital Signage

ScreenTinker has a native weather widget. Set a location, optionally a timezone, and it shows current conditions on screen - a lobby-board staple next to a clock and your main content.

### The short version

The weather widget is built in. You configure a location and, if you want, a timezone, and it renders current conditions on the display. It is most often placed in a multi-zone layout alongside a clock and a main content area to make a clean reception or lobby board.

### Step by step

- Open the **Content Library** (or the layout editor) in your ScreenTinker dashboard.

- Add the **Weather** widget.

- Configure it with your **location**, and optionally set a **timezone**. The widget renders current conditions for that location.

- Add the widget to a **Playlist**, or place it in a zone of a multi-zone **layout** next to a clock and your main content.

- Publish and **schedule** the playlist or layout, then assign it to one or more screens.

### Tips & use cases

- **Pair it with a Clock.** ScreenTinker's native Clock widget plus the weather widget is the classic lobby combo - people glance up for the time and today's conditions.

- **Reception and lobby boards.** A multi-zone layout with weather in a corner, a clock, and a main zone for announcements or a welcome message makes a polished front-of-house display.

- **Set the location correctly.** Configure the location for where the screen physically lives so staff and visitors see local conditions.

- **Set the timezone when it matters.** If you run screens across regions, set the timezone so a paired clock and any time-based content line up with the local site.

- **Keep it as a supporting element.** Weather works best as a small, always-there widget in a zone rather than a full-screen item - it complements your main message instead of competing with it.

- **Multi-site fleets.** Give each location its own layout with the local weather so every site's board feels local, all managed from one dashboard.

### FAQ

#### Is the weather widget built in?

Yes. Weather is a native ScreenTinker widget. You configure a location (and optionally a timezone) and it renders current conditions - no third-party embed required.

#### What do I configure?

A location, and optionally a timezone. That is enough for the widget to show current conditions on screen.

#### Can I show weather and a clock together?

Yes. The Clock is also a native widget. Put both into a multi-zone layout - weather in one zone, clock in another, main content in a third - for a lobby or reception board.

#### Can I show different weather on different screens?

Yes. Configure a layout per location with that site's location set, then assign each layout to the screens at that site.

#### Does it work on all ScreenTinker players?

Yes. The weather widget runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player - all free.
