A location, current conditions and a visible update time. Screen refresh and offline behavior need player testing.
Build-time preview availablePreview the weatherScreen content and connections
Choose how to connect content to your screen
Bring your menu, team calendar or local weather to a screen. Each content type needs a different connection.
Connection types and status This directory labels native widgets, feeds, uploads and web embeds separately. A planned connection is not a verified integration.
Calendar
An approved iCal feed for events and reminders. This is not an automatic Google account connection. Check feed access and time zones.
Planned for the screen appImages, video & documents
Images and videos are core signage content. PDF and PowerPoint playback need format tests, especially fonts and animation.
PNG export works in the menu makerWeb pages & Google Slides
A public or appropriately shared page may be displayed. Publish-to-web is different from native Drive sync. Private dashboards need an access review.
Compatibility check requiredNews ticker
Short updates from an approved RSS source. Check source permissions, refresh time and how long each message remains on screen.
Planned for the screen appQR codes
Point people to your existing guide, ordering page or sign-up form. Test the code from the real viewing distance.
Planned for the screen appYouTube & live streams
Show sources you have permission to use. Internet is required. Playback support does not include business screening rights.
Source and player check requiredClock & countdown
Keep a local time or an event countdown in view. Confirm the time zone and what should appear when the countdown ends.
Planned for the screen appCheck access before connecting
Check whether a web page can display on your TV
Some pages prevent embedding. Others need a login that a shared TV should not retain. Start with the source and access requirements, then test the actual screen view.
Before connecting a source
- Decide who should see the content.
- Check sharing permissions and any provider terms.
- Choose a refresh interval that the source permits.
- Check what appears when the source is unavailable.
- Review the screen from a visitor’s point of view.
