Google Docs app for digital signage
The Google Docs app bridges the gap between document creation and organizational visibility by displaying your files on digital signage throughout your workplace. Production areas use it to share standard operating procedures, break rooms display policy updates, and lobbies feature upcoming event details. Setup takes seconds—authenticate your Google account, select your document, and choose your display preferences. Both Public and PDF viewing options provide flexibility for different security requirements and network environments. Because both platforms are cloud-based, document changes automatically refresh on your screens without manual updates, ensuring everyone always sees the most current information.

FAQ
What's the difference between "Public View" and "PDF View" when displaying Google Docs?
"Public View" embeds the document directly for a live, interactive display that reflects changes in real-time, but requires your document to be publicly shareable. "PDF View" converts your document to a static PDF that refreshes every few minutes, works with restricted sharing settings, and offers offline functionality when network connectivity is limited.
How quickly do document changes appear on my screens?
In Public View, changes appear in real-time as they're made in the document. With PDF View, updates refresh approximately every few minutes. This automatic synchronization happens without any manual intervention, ensuring your displayed information stays current.
Can I display different sections of a large document on different screens?
Yes. You can create multiple instances of the Google Docs app within Fugo, each configured to display a specific document. Additionally, Fugo's Design Studio lets you crop or resize the document display window to highlight particular sections of longer documents for different audience needs.
Do I need to keep Google Docs open on my computer for the app to work?
No. Once you've authenticated your Google account with Fugo, the connection is managed in the Cloud. Your documents will display and update on your screens regardless of whether you have Google Docs open or even if your computer is turned off.
