FAQ
Which BBC News categories can I display on my screens?
The app offers access to all major BBC content categories including World, UK, Top Stories, Business, Politics, Health, Education, Science, Technology, and Entertainment. You can select a single category or rotate between multiple topics depending on your audience's interests and information needs.
How frequently do the headlines update on my displays?
Headlines refresh automatically whenever BBC publishes new content, with no manual intervention needed. You control the rotation speed between individual headlines through the "Next Post Delay" setting, allowing you to determine how long each headline appears before transitioning to the next.
Can I integrate BBC News alongside other content on my screens?
Yes. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can position the BBC News feed alongside other content elements like company announcements, social media feeds, or environmental data. This flexibility allows you to create multi-zone layouts where news occupies only a portion of the screen, maximizing your communication potential.
Will the BBC News app work in locations with limited internet connectivity?
The app is engineered to function efficiently in bandwidth-constrained environments. After initial loading, it caches content locally and only fetches updates when new headlines are available. This design minimizes network demands while ensuring displays remain current, making it suitable for locations where internet resources are limited.
