Player groups allow you apply the same settings to multiple players simultaneously. You can add static players or dynamic rules to your player groups. Static players can be manually grouped together. Dynamic rules can be used to define which players should be automatically grouped together.

To create a player group:

• Click the hamburger icon and navigate to Device Management > Player Groups.
  
• Click Add Player Group.
  
• Provide the necessary information in the Details section.
• Add static players or dynamic rules:
  

  Setting	Steps
  Static Players	Click Add Static Players. The Static Players section appears with a list of available players. Select the appropriate players by selecting the corresponding checkboxes.
  Dynamic Rules	Click Add Dynamic Rule. To build the dynamic rule, select a field name or custom metadata, select an operator, and enter a value. Click the the + button to add more dynamic rules. After clicking the + button, select And from the Next Operation drop-down for the previous dynamic rule to indicate that the previous condition and the next condition must be valid for the player to be added to the player group, or select OR to indicate that the previous condition or the next one must be valid for the player to be added to the player group.

• Set up notifications:
  • In the Player Notification Recipients section, select the necessary statuses and channels to indicate the types of notifications that should be sent.
  • Select the necessary recipients.
    NOTE: When a player’s status within this group goes active/inactive, a notification is sent to the selected recipients to let them know there could possibly be an issue with this specific player. If a player is offline, that does not mean content is not displaying. The Korbyt player caches content so that if a device goes offline, the latest content downloaded will continue to display.
