Screenfeed Connect is a workflow tool that greatly reduces the time, cost and effort required to complete data-driven, HTML digital signage content projects. Connect's pre-built widgets (calendars, graphs, clocks, etc.) can easily be dropped onto the canvas, styled and connected to a data source in minutes.

There are two main methods for showcasing Screenfeed Connect content on your Signagelive Players:

Via Signagelive's Native Screenfeed Integration

If you have purchased Screenfeed products through Signagelive, you can leverage our native Screenfeed integration to instantly access Screenfeed within the Signagelive user interface (for more information, see this article).

This lets you immediately access, edit and publish any purchased Feeds directly to your Signagelive Content Library. This remains the case for Screenfeed Connect too. See the video below for a walkthrough of creating content within Screenfeed Connect (within the Signagelive application) and how this can be easily imported into Signagelive.

Manually Adding Screenfeed Connect Content to Signagelive

If you have purchased Screenfeed content outside of Signagelive, you will not have access to the Screenfeed integration, but you can still add any created Screenfeed Connect content to Signagelive. Here's how you do it:

  1. After you have finished creating your Screenfeed Connect content, press the Publish button located in the top-right of the Connect application

  2. Next, press the Get App button, and a drop-down will appear with a few options

    1. Copy URL: immediately copies the publish URL for your Connect Feed that you can then import into Signagelive using the steps in this article

    2. Open in a new window: opens the publish URL for you to view in a new window

    3. Download as Bundle: provides a downloadable .wgt file based on whichever radio button is selected below. Select Signagelive and then press Download As Bundle. You can then upload this using the steps in this article.
