Looker App for Digital Signage | Live Data Without The Upkeep
Looker app for digital signage
The Looker app bridges the gap between your analytics platform and the teams who need these insights daily. Fugo's approach prioritizes both security and wide distribution by keeping encrypted credentials on private servers while sending only dashboard images to screens. This makes your data accessible across departments without compromising security or requiring additional Looker seats. With support for Chrome compatibility and optimization for TV viewing, the app ensures critical metrics reach decision-makers exactly when and where needed.
Dashboards can be displayed via optimized snapshots, ensuring smooth performance even on screens with older browser versions or when showing data-intensive visualizations.
Automated refresh cycles
Fugo automates data refresh intervals to keep visualizations current and relevant, with automatic updates occurring each time your dashboard appears in the content rotation.
Secure credential management
Connect your Looker account with a few credentials to securely display data visualizations on any screen in your workplace without requiring additional user licenses.
FAQ
What browser requirements do I need to be aware of for displaying Looker dashboards?
Looker only supports the two most recent versions of Chrome. If your display devices run current Chrome versions, you can use the native Looker app. For older hardware or browsers, Fugo's screenshot method provides compatibility by capturing dashboard images in the cloud and sending them to your screens.

Can I display different Looker visualizations on different screens throughout my organization?
Absolutely. Each dashboard instance can be configured independently, allowing you to target specific metrics to relevant departments. You can also schedule different dashboards to appear at certain times of day or week, ensuring teams see the data most relevant to their operations when they need it.
How often does my dashboard refresh on screen?
Your Looker data automatically refreshes each time it appears in your content rotation. There's no need for manual updates or setting refresh intervals - Fugo fetches the latest data directly from your Looker account every time the dashboard is displayed.
How should I optimize my Looker dashboards for TV display?
Keep visualizations simple and focused—avoid dashboards with many small elements that are difficult to read from a distance. A good rule is to include no more than three data points per dashboard. Fugo's Design Studio also lets you crop dashboards to highlight specific elements and customize their display for better visibility.
