01The launch, step by step
Every step, on the clock.
This is the fastest path from sign-up to your first verified play: as little as 15 minutes. Most of it moves as fast as you do. Two steps don’t, on purpose: a content check, and the venue’s own yes.

02Why screens work
The ads people actually like.
A screen on a wall reaches people away from the feed. There’s no skip button, no ad blocker and nothing to scroll past, and people rate it above every other kind of ad measured.

- Shape
Match the screen
Each screen lists its canvas, like 1920 × 1080, or 1080 × 1920 if it hangs portrait. Your file has to be within 2% of that shape, so it fills the panel with no bars.
- Format
JPG or PNG
A still image, exported at the screen’s size.

Up to 10 MB
The limit keeps a file quick to load before its slot opens.
- Length
One spot
Your image holds for the screen’s spot: 10 seconds unless that screen is set to another.

06FAQ
Fair questions.
Straight answers, including the one the headline raises.
01Why “as little as” 15 minutes?
Because two steps aren’t yours to rush. The fastest path is a ready-made ad and a funded wallet. Your ad also has to clear its content check and its review, and those take as long as they take. Everything else moves as fast as you do.
02What does it cost?
Each screen has a price per play, shown before you book. You top up a wallet from $5, and each play is charged after the screen’s player confirms it ran. A play that didn’t happen costs nothing.
03How do I know my ad actually played?
Every partner screen runs a player, a Raspberry Pi or a Google Onn 4K, that reports each completed play. That report is what we bill from, so a charge always matches a play that ran.
04What happens in the content check?
Your ad is reviewed against Elaview’s content standards before it can play. If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t play, and you’re not charged. Our team then reviews it for the screen you picked, with the venue’s wishes in mind.
05Can a venue say no?
Yes. Every venue can rule out what it never wants on its screen, like a competitor, and those ads don’t run there. You’re only charged for plays, so a declined ad costs you nothing.
06What file do I need?
A JPG or PNG shaped to the screen you picked, up to 10 MB. The spec sheet above has the details, and each screen lists exactly what it accepts.
07Can I change my ad later?
Not one that’s already running, yet. To show a different image, create a new campaign and book it; the new file gets the same content check and review before it plays. The earlier run keeps going until its budget ends.
08I run a venue. Can my screen join?
Yes, and it’s free: we set up a player on your TV, design your promos, and pay you a share when local ads run. See “Become a partner venue” above.
