[Media Content Set up](https://help.displaynow.io/help/media-content-set-up?hsLang=en) August 5, 2026 # How to Add a Windy Weather Map to Your Screens ## The Windy media app puts a live, interactive weather map on your displays — wind, temperature, UV index, and more — centered on any location you choose. This guide walks you through adding Windy in Display NOW Manager, from picking a weather layer to saving it to a playlist. ### Step 1. Display NOW Manager \> Media \> Media App Store ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.41.09 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.41.09%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.41.09%20PM.jpg) - From the left sidebar, open **Media**. ### Step 2. Open the Windy app. ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.41.24 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.41.24%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.41.24%20PM.jpg) - Select the **Windy App**. ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.44.16 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.16%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.16%20PM.jpg) - The **Media name** field is pre-filled (for example, *Windy: Wind map and weather forecast - 3*). - Edit it to something you'll recognize later, especially if you plan to add more than one Windy map. ### Step 3. Set the location ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.44.26 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.26%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.26%20PM.jpg) Under **Location**, enter the full address you want the map centered on (for example, *944 Dorchester Ave unit 23, Dorchester, MA 02125, USA*). - Start typing and select the matching address so the map resolves to the right spot. - The **Preview** panel on the right stays on a placeholder until a valid location is set, then loads the live map. > **Note:** Location is required. The map won't preview or save without it. ### Step 4. Choose a weather layer ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.44.34 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.34%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.34%20PM.jpg) Open the **Weather Layer** dropdown and pick the data you want to display: - Options include **Wind**, **Temperature**, **Clouds**, **Pressure (hPa)**, **Snow Cover**, **Waves**, **Humidity**, and **UV Index**. - The **Preview** updates instantly, including the matching color legend (for example, the UV Index layer shows a Low-to-Extreme scale along the bottom). ### Step 5. Set the zoom level ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.44.49 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.49%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.49%20PM.jpg) Use the **Zoom** slider — or type a value in the box beside it — to control how tightly the map frames your location. - Lower values show a wider regional view; higher values zoom in closer to the address. - Drag the slider while watching the **Preview** and stop at the framing that reads best on-screen. ### Step 6. Choose how it plays ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.44.56 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.56%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.44.56%20PM.jpg) Under **Streaming type**, select how the map is delivered: - **Playlist:** add the map to a playlist so it rotates with your other content. - **Broadcast:** push the map out as a broadcast. ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.45.06 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.45.06%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.45.06%20PM.jpg) For this guide, we'll use **Playlist.** ### Step 7. Confirm visibility and save ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 10.45.13 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.45.13%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=366&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%2010.45.13%20PM.jpg) - Keep the **Show this media** toggle on so the map is live and available to add to screens. - Click **Save** to finish. The Windy map is now in your media library, ready to drop into a playlist or broadcast. Why It Matters? A live weather map turns any screen into a genuinely useful, always-current display — perfect for lobbies, break rooms, and storefronts where people glance up for a quick read on conditions. Set the location and layer once, and Windy keeps it refreshed on its own. Need a hand?
