If you've just signed up and don't know where to begin — follow these five steps. They take you from an empty dashboard to sound in your venue's speakers. Each step links to a detailed guide.
The key thing to understand: in Tunio you don't "play music" from the catalog — you create your own broadcast (stream) and control what plays in it through the schedule. The catalog is just a showcase for picking tracks.
Create a stream
A stream is your broadcast. On first login you'll land in the setup wizard: set a name, time zone, and pick music (a ready-made template for your business type, or genres manually). Details in «How to create a stream».
Build a playlist
A playlist is a selection of music for the air. You can build it from the Tunio catalog or from your own uploaded tracks. How to do it — in «How to create a playlist».
Set up the schedule
The schedule defines what plays and when: which playlist at which hours, how often jingles, announcements, and other content air. See «How to create a schedule» and «How to add a playlist to the schedule».
Start the broadcast
Once the stream is set up, press PLAY — Tunio syncs the stream by time across all your locations. Music plays in full quality, without watermarks.
Send the sound to a device
So the stream plays in your venue even during internet outages, connect the Tunio Spot app by broadcast code on a TV box, mini-PC, or Smart TV.
What's next
Once the basic broadcast works, add content that makes the air come alive:
- Announcements — voice messages and ads.
- Jingles — branded stingers between tracks.
- Podcasts and weather forecast — spoken content.
- Screens — a picture for TV panels along with the sound.
Some content (announcements, podcasts, weather) is generated for you by Tunio — that spends credits. What they are and how to top up — in «Billing and credits».
