Updated October 2026. This post used to cover advanced profile techniques. Profiles were removed from Free Tab Switcher; saved setups are now Pro playlists, explained below.
Profiles saved an interval, refresh settings and a list of tabs under a name. Playlists, part of Pro from version 2.1, do that job and go further: each opens its own window and can come back by itself when Chrome starts.
🎯 What a Playlist Saves
- Pages: an ordered list of web addresses, each with an optional label
- Display time per page: or one default for the whole playlist
- Reload per page: refresh a page each time it comes on screen
- Screen: the monitor it opens on
- Fullscreen / kiosk: no tabs or address bar showing
- Launch when Chrome starts: reopens on its own after a restart
âš¡ Set Up a Playlist
- Click the Free Tab Switcher icon, then 📋 Manage Playlists.
- Click + New playlist and type a name, like "Lobby" or "NOC wall".
- Add pages with + Add URL. Give any page its own display time, and tick reload on pages that should refresh when shown.
- Pick a Screen, and tick Fullscreen / kiosk for a wall display.
- Tick Launch when Chrome starts for a screen nobody touches. Then make Chrome open when the computer starts: the FAQ has the steps.
- Click â–¶ Launch to open it now.
💡 Tips
- One playlist per screen. One PC can run a lobby screen, a wallboard and a NOC display at the same time.
- Name playlists by place or purpose so you can tell them apart.
- Back up before big changes with Export config. Import config copies your setup to another computer.
Pro is a one-time $19.99 upgrade. See what Pro adds, or read the activation guide.
