Why Use Twitter Lists on your Arreya Channel: Twitter Lists allow you to customize, organize, and prioritize the Tweets that will appear in your Arreya presentation. Creating a Twitter List allows you to personally and more securely deliver the tweets you want your customers, clients, or visitors to see.
Go to the Twitter website or app. If using a mobile device, click on your profile picture in the upper left corner, and click on [Lists]. If on the desktop, click lists on the menu bar on the left.
Click on the [New List] icon. Add a list name, description, and image, and then click Next.
Next, search for members/users to add to the list and click [Add] next to their account names.
After adding all accounts you wish to have in your list, Click [Done].
Click the share icon, and choose [Copy Link to List].
Return to your Arreya presentation, and paste the URL into the list field.
This article will cover manual configuration of a wireless network on a Chrome device, the pictures below show an AOpen Chromebox Mini, but the process for other devices is the same.
If your Chromebox is already powered on, press and hold the power button on the Chromebox to turn it off. The button location may vary depending on the model of Chrome device. Simply unplug the power cord if you’re working with a Chromebit.
Connect a keyboard/mouse to the Chromebox and get prepared to press the key combination: Ctrl + Alt + S. This shortcut will skip Kiosk mode and bring you to the Chrome desktop.
Power on the Chromebox, and press Ctrl + Alt + S when prompted at the white Arreya splash screen. If you do not press the shortcut at the correct time, the Arreya application will not be skipped.
Note: It may help to repeatedly press the shortcut after powering the Chromebox back up, until the Chrome desktop is shown. You have to press all three buttons at the same time.
Do not sign in to the Chrome device!
The first screen that appears when you enter the desktop will either be a login screen or a connection error prompting you to select a network to connect to. If the network selection screen appears, click the dropdown box, select your desired wireless network and enter the password to connect.
If the network selection screen does not appear, click the system tray in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Click “No network” to display available networks to connect to.
Click the desired network, a screen will prompt you to input your password. “Allow other users of this device to use this network” should be automatically turned to on.
After successfully connecting to the network, power the Chrome device down with the power button. Power the Chrome device up again and allow the Arreya app to run.
The device should now be connected to the internet.
