Google Calendar App for Digital Signage | Live Data Without The Upkeep
Google Calendar app for digital signage
The Google Calendar app eliminates scheduling confusion by putting important dates where everyone can see them. Reception areas use calendar displays to show visitors the day's events, while office teams rely on them to track meeting schedules and deadlines. Retail managers display shift rotations and promotional calendars, and schools highlight upcoming assemblies and exam periods. Setup takes minutes - just connect your Google account, choose your preferred view, and publish to screens. When you update your calendar, screens refresh automatically, ensuring everyone sees the latest information without additional work from your team.
Display your schedule in month, week, day, or agenda format to match your team's planning needs and screen layout preferences.
One-time setup
Connect your Google account once, select your calendar, and walk away - every new event and change syncs automatically without requiring manual updates or maintenance.
Real-time event display
Share meetings, staff leave, shift changes, and events from your Google Calendar directly on digital signage screens with automatic updates whenever changes are made.
FAQ
Can I display multiple calendars across different screens?
Yes. You can create separate instances of the Google Calendar app for each calendar you want to display. This allows HR to show vacation schedules on break room screens while marketing displays campaign deadlines on their department screens. Each calendar maintains independent updates while using the same simple setup process.
How quickly do screens update when I make calendar changes?
Calendar changes appear on your screens within minutes of being saved in Google Calendar. This near-real-time synchronization ensures last-minute meeting room changes, emergency announcements, or updated event details reach your audience promptly without manual intervention.
Can I customize the appearance of the calendar to match our branding?
The app includes multiple pre-designed themes optimized for digital signage visibility. You can further customize your calendar display by adjusting its size and position in Fugo's Design Studio. Many users combine their calendar with logos, welcome messages, or complementary information like weather or news feeds for complete branded displays.
Is it possible to hide certain events or show only specific types of events?
While the app displays all events from your selected calendar, many organizations create purpose-specific calendars in Google to control what appears on screens. For example, you might create a "Public Events" calendar that shows only what you want visible to visitors, keeping internal meetings and sensitive information separate.
