The Daily Board on your Samsung Smart TV displays useful information—such as weather, memos, and the status of devices registered with SmartThings—when the screen is off. It can be activated by user detection or voice commands, and lets you play music, use the camera, and apply wallpapers without turning on the screen.
Note:
- Availability of the Daily Board and certain features may vary by model or region.
