This page covers setting the account-level default composition in the Settings module. The default composition is the composition a screen plays when it has no Quick Play or scheduled content assigned to it, and it is also what new screens play automatically as soon as they are registered. If you haven’t created a composition yet, see Compositions first.
If you’re publishing content: To assign a default composition to a screen while scheduling content, see Assign Default Composition at Publish Time instead.
