The Masjid App Admins

Salam all, the Fire TV and Android TV app got an update. Sometimes, during the auto-update process, the app will crash. If you see this, please relaunch the TMA Screens app and it should be back to normal.

📺 Live Display Control Panel AND Multiple Slideshows AND Stat Fixes

Salaam Admins,

We’ve rolled out a few important updates that give you more insight, flexibility, and control especially with Ramadan coming up.

📺 New Live Display Control Panel
You can now see live, which of your TVs are up at any given time.

You can now push content to a live display in real time — change it to a clock, slideshow, or even fundraiser, right from your phone! This is especially powerful with the highly requested "Multi-Slideshow Support"

🖥️ Multiple Slideshow Support
Before, we only had the "Default Slideshow". Now you can make several slideshows, and then paired with the "Live Display Control Panel", you can pick which ones show this.

This is perfect for Jumuah announcements, if you need a visual, the one giving announcements can within seconds turn the Clock TVs to show a slideshow that just has a QR code related to his announcements, and once he's done speaking, he can revert it back to the Clock's within 5 seconds.

You don't have to upload a photo multiple times if you want it on multiple slideshows. Just upload it once, and check off all the slideshows you want it to show on. Because some of your slideshows may only have some dedicated slides, we increased the overall slide upload count from 40 to 60. We are experimenting with this number. Your feedback here is valuable.

🎛️ More Slideshow Control
You can now hide the prayers bar, or the clock bar from slideshows. On the slides page, at the top, there is an area to add/remove slideshow configurations.

You now have the flexibility to hide specific slide types from slideshows:
• Downloads
• Posts
• Ads

Before we didn't allow this, but with multi-slideshows we found that Masjid's may not want it there. But a quick reminder, these slides exist to help you communicate, promote, and engage your community. If you don't show ad slides, you limit your own ability to get automatically managed ads. If you hide the download slide, you limit your community from downloading your app, and more downloads means the more people you can ask donations from. The 1% rule kicks in, 1% of your followers that see will tap the "Donate Now" button which is also in view when they tap the notification to read the post details. This is unlike Whatsapp etc, there is no "Donate Now" button next to posts on the other platforms.

So be sure to keep these slides on for at least some of your slideshows, it's there to help!

🔔 Notification Stats — Fixed
Notification stats are now accurate on the admin dashboard again. You can see how many of your followers are using it 5x a day for adhan notifications, how many are using it for iqama reminders, and how many want to be informed when iqama's change.

⏰ Upcoming Work before Ramadan
* Fix for new country requirements for recurring payments from kiosks in Canada, Ireland, and Australia.
* Manual imports (for cash, checks, and other donation systems).
* Email blast a consolidated receipt

The below may spill into Ramadan.
* Scheduled donations. Ability to pick from the donor side, and also per-configuring from the masjid admin side.
* We beta'ed pledge support with some masjids, and plan to bring that to all others.

Remember, if you don't ask, you won't get, communicate to your community, everyone has a phone in their hand, that means they have a donation terminal in their pocket! Mention a Jumuah to take their phone, download the app, and become apart of the good that your Masjid's help facilitate!
