Classroom signage and campus screens on one panel
A school already owns the screens. What it lacks is one place to decide what every screen shows, and a way to know the message actually reached the far end of the site.
What schools put on screens
- Timetables and room changes, updated the moment the change is made
- Notices for students, staff and visitors, scheduled by building or year group
- Canteen menus and allergen information, changed daily without a printer
- Reception screens with the day's visitors, events and directions
- Celebration of work, results and sports fixtures, on a loop that refreshes itself
- Emergency and lockdown messages that take over every screen at once
- Quiet exam mode, where a building drops to a single plain notice
Build a school screen right here, without an account
The screen builder below opens on a school corridor screen. Type your school name and three notices, pick portrait or landscape, and watch the screen run its loop, with registration, lessons and after school on a weekly grid.
Venue
Orientation
Layout
- Venue: restaurant, retail store, clinic, gym, office or school
- Orientation: landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16
- Layout: full bleed, main plus sidebar, or a menu board in three columns
- Content: your business name and three short lines, prefilled for the venue you picked
The schedule strip underneath shows the same playlist placed on a weekly grid, which is exactly what the schedule view does inside the product.
One panel for the whole site
Tag screens by building, floor, department or year group and schedule against the tag. The sports hall, the sixth form block and the reception can carry three different loops without three different people managing them.
An override pushes one message to every screen immediately, and lifts itself when you say so, which is the feature a site wants on a bad day and never wants to improvise.
Who is allowed to publish
Roles are viewer, editor, approver and admin, scoped by building or department. A department can prepare its own notices while approval sits with the office, so nothing reaches a public screen without a second look. Every publish is recorded with the person and the time.
Practical for a school network
- Runs in the browser on the screens and the mini PCs the site already has
- No inbound connection to the device, so no firewall change for a classroom
- Players keep playing when the network is busy or down
- Single sign-on with SAML on the Network plan, so accounts follow the staff directory
- Alerts when a screen in a far building stops reporting
What a campus pays
Billed per active screen. Essential at 19 USD per screen monthly covers a building with weekly schedules and templates. Professional at 29 USD adds groups, dayparts, roles and proof of play, which is what a multi-building site uses. Rates on the pricing page, and procurement questions on the enterprise page.
Can we take over every screen for an emergency message
Yes. An override reaches every screen on the next check in, which is seconds, and stays until you lift it.
Can a department manage its own screens
Yes, with an editor role scoped to their screens, and approval before anything is published to a shared area.
Does it work on the interactive panels in classrooms
If the panel has a browser or takes an Android or Chrome device, yes. The same pairing code works on all of them.
Start with reception and the canteen
Two screens, two loops, one afternoon. Add the rest of the site once staff see the timetable change itself.
