- Broadsign Creator messages on your players.
- Broadsign Publish messages on your players. For more information about this feature, see Broadsign Publish.
Note: The player decides whether the ad copy is for Broadsign Publish or Broadsign Creator based on its Configuration, specifically, in the add-on section: The Add-ons Section.

Note: By default, as of v12.1, Broadsign Control supports valid HTTPS website URLs.
