Common questions. Straight answers.
Are Giphy GIFs free to use on digital signage?
Giphy content is available through their API for display purposes. Hangar.Media handles the API integration and content delivery. Review Giphy terms of service for commercial usage specifics.
Can I upload my own GIFs instead of using Giphy?
Yes. You can upload custom GIFs directly to the Hangar.Media content library. The Giphy integration is an additional source of animated content that works alongside your own uploads.
Do GIFs slow down the signage player?
Hangar.Media optimises GIF playback for signage hardware. Large or complex GIFs are transcoded to efficient video formats for smooth playback without impacting player performance.
Can I filter out inappropriate Giphy content?
Yes. The integration uses Giphy content rating filters. You can restrict searches to G-rated content only, ensuring all GIFs displayed on your screens are appropriate for all audiences.
