Table of contents
Digital signage provides a great venue to showcase ready-made content you’ve already created, saving time and effort. And for content creators who prefer working in PowerPoint, this feature allows you to continue using your favorite tool without needing to switch to Fugo’s native slide builder or other third-party tools.
It's easier than ever to share your presentations directly through Fugo’s digital signage software. Follow the steps below to upload your PowerPoint files as PDFs into your media library.
Add PowerPoint files to your Fugo media library
1. Log in to your Fugo account or start a free trial here.
2. Navigate to your Media library from the top navigation bar.
3. You can upload your PowerPoint file in one of two ways:
Option 1: Drag & drop
Locate your PowerPoint file on your computer.
Drag the file directly into the Drag & Drop Here Or Click To Upload box in your media library.
Option 2: File picker
Click the New button in the top-right corner of your Media library.
From the dropdown menu, select File Upload.
Browse your computer for the PowerPoint file you wish to upload and click Open.
Once it's uploaded, you're ready to put it into a playlist & push it to screen!
Publish your PowerPoint presentation to a playlist
1. Click the three dot menu on your presentation and then Publish.
💡 Note: if you're not ready to publish this right away, you don't have to publish directly from the Media library.
At any time, you can create a new playlist from the Playlists page and select your uploaded presentation from the Media tab from the content picker when adding your content (steps 5 & 6 below).
2. You'll be prompted to either add your presentation to an existing playlist or create a new playlist. Select your option & click Continue.
3. This will launch the playlist builder. First, give your playlist a name.
4. Click Select Screens to choose the screen/s you want this playlist to be published to.
5. Your playlist will already be added to your content loop. If you want to add more content to this playlist (such as another presentation, media, or apps) click Add More Content.
6. Use the content picker to choose your content.
7. When you've selected all the content items you want to add to this playlist, it's time to put it on screen or schedule a time for it to go live.
Click Publish to send this content to your screen/s right away. This action is helpful if you're simply testing content.
If you want to set a more precise recurring schedule for this content or plan for it be scheduled in advance, you can use our Scheduler to do so.
🔍 You can find more about your publish & scheduling options in our Playlists collection.
Customize your PowerPoint display in Fugo's Design Studio
If you want to configure a custom layout for your screen using your presentation, you can do so in Fugo's Design Studio, a.k.a. our slide builder.
The Studio will allow you to get creative with your layout, incorporating other content elements for flare or informational purposes:
Add other media items or graphic elements to your layout
Add text boxes to your layout
Add your company logo
Add additional app widgets to your layout
Add QR codes to drive traffic to your important URLs
Here are just some examples of the kind of configuration you can create with your presentations:
🔍 You can dive deeper into the Design Studio here.
When you're happy with your slide/s, save your content. You'll be able to add it to a playlist from the content picker (steps 5 & 6 in the above section.)
