Web Page App for Digital Signage | Live Data Without The Upkeep
Embed web pages in digital signage
The Web Page app bridges online and offline environments by displaying live website content directly on your digital displays. Retail businesses use this capability to showcase product catalogs and promotions, while corporate offices display real-time dashboards and internal resources. Implementation requires only the target URL and optional configuration for scrolling or authentication. Unlike static screenshots, the app renders actual web content, ensuring all interactive elements and real-time updates appear exactly as intended. This approach eliminates duplicate content management while maintaining visual consistency between your digital presence and physical locations.
Enable smooth, controlled scrolling to showcase entire websites or lengthy content that extends beyond the visible screen area.
Custom scripting options
Access password-protected dashboards and internal sites through specialized JavaScript that handles authentication directly from your player device.
Website integration
Display any public web-based content directly on your digital signage screens without requiring manual screenshots or content recreation.
FAQ
Will all websites display correctly through the Web Page app?
Not always. Some websites implement security measures like Content Security Policy (CSP) or X-Frame-Options headers that prevent display within external applications. Banking sites, payment portals, and other security-sensitive services commonly employ these restrictions. For such cases, you might need to work with the site administrator to modify security settings or consider alternative approaches like the TV Dashboards feature for capturing content.
Can I display password-protected internal dashboards or sites?
Yes. The app includes a scripting feature specifically designed for accessing authenticated content. You can implement custom JavaScript that handles login processes, navigates to specific pages, and even modifies page appearance by removing unwanted elements like navigation bars. This capability is particularly valuable for displaying internal business intelligence dashboards or company intranet content.
Does the app support interactive elements on websites?
The Web Page app primarily functions as a display solution rather than an interactive platform. While the content renders as it would in a browser, user interaction capabilities depend on your hardware. For touch-enabled screens, you can configure interactive elements, but this requires additional setup and is best tested in advance. Most implementations focus on displaying dynamic but non-interactive content.
How do I optimize website content for digital signage display?
For best results, consider creating dedicated versions of web pages specifically formatted for digital signage. These should feature larger text, high-contrast colors, simplified navigation, and content that fits standard screen dimensions. If creating custom pages isn't feasible, the scrolling feature can help present standard websites, though you should test the scrolling speed and duration to ensure visitors can absorb the information before it moves out of view.
