Monitor your players with the Player Monitoring App

Introduction

The Player Monitoring app allows you to get a quick overview of your Q-Play players in near-realtime, directly inside a Q-Play presentation. That way, you can deploy a screen in your internal IT department which monitors all the other players running throughout your business.
