    1. In Skykit Control Console (Legacy), go to the tenant that contains the device for which you want to enable display overlays and then select the Chrome Devices tab.

      Tenants window - Managed Devices tab

    2. Select the Edit (pencil) icon next to the device for which you want to enable display overlays.

    3. Scroll to the Overlays section.

    4. Select the location and type of overlay you want to appear on your display.

      In the following example, we'll add a Date and Time overlay in the top left corner of your display, a Weather overlay in the top right corner, and a company logo in the bottom left corner.

    5. If display overlays have not been enabled for this device, select Enable.
    6. From the Top-Left list, select DATETIME. This will add the date and time overlay to the top left corner of your display.
    7. From the Top-Right list, select WEATHER. This will add a weather overlay to the top right corner of your display.

      Note: The Weather overlay is only available for Chrome Media Players.
    8. To add a small image (in this case, a logo) to the bottom left corner, you first need to upload the image. 
      1. Select Tenant Overlay View to open the Overlays tab in the Tenants window.
      2. In the Logo Upload section, select Browse to open your system's file explorer and locate the image you want to use as a display overlay.
      3. Select the image you want to upload and then select Open.
      4. Select Upload to upload your image file into Skykit Control Console.

        DO NOT change any Display Overlay settings in the Overlays section to the left. These settings will enable/disable display overlays for all displays within your selected tenant, not just your previously selected display.
    9. Select Chrome Devices on the menu bar, then select the Edit (pencil) icon next to the display where you want the image to be shown. You return to the Display details window.
    10. Scroll back to the Overlays section. When you select the Bottom-Left drop-down list, you will see two versions of your uploaded image: Small and Large. Select the option that meets your needs. For this example, we'll select the large version.
