New in Visuals: Folder selection in Slideshow Layer

New: Folder selection in Slideshow Layer

A new update to the Slideshow Visual Layer in Visual Radio Assist now allows you to select an entire folder instead of individual images. Upload your images to a folder in the Media Hub, and they will automatically play in order or randomly if selected. This makes it easier to manage and update slideshows for your broadcast.
