A ticker adds movement and fresh information to a screen without competing with the main content.

## Tips

- **Pick a trusted feed.** Whatever the feed publishes appears on your screens.
- **Keep speed readable.** Fast tickers are hard to follow from a distance.
- **Use a zone.** Give the ticker its own strip in a multi-zone layout so it never covers other content.
