We're thrilled to announce a major upgrade for your Signagelive ChromeOS devices, opening up powerful new ways to control and display your content! Get ready for Screen Takeovers and standard sync capabilities, both designed to elevate your digital signage experience.


What's New for Your ChromeOS Devices?

Starting July 28th, your ChromeOS devices will gain two incredible new features:

Screen Takeovers: Dynamic, On-Demand Synchronization

Imagine having the power to instantly switch your entire network (or specific groups) of screens from showing individual content to a perfectly synchronized, high-impact message. That's Screen Takeovers!

This feature is perfect for:

  • Flash Sales & Promotions: Instantly display a synchronized, urgent promotion across all your retail or fast-food screens, driving immediate customer attention.

  • Company & School Announcements: Broadcast critical updates, emergency messages, or school-wide announcements across every display, ensuring everyone gets the message.

  • Targeted Campaigns: Effortlessly integrate time-sensitive content into your regular schedules.

How it Works: Screen Takeovers allows you to dictate precisely when your screens synchronize. You can set them to sync:

  • Once a day within a specific timeframe (e.g., every lunch rush).

  • At regular intervals (e.g., every 90 seconds, all screens sync for 10 seconds, then return to individual content).

Once the synchronized content finishes, your screens seamlessly revert to their original, individual schedules.


Standard Sync Capabilities (Now for ChromeOS!)

For the very first time, our powerful standard sync capabilities are now available for ChromeOS devices! This means you can now easily synchronize full-screen media across multiple ChromeOS players to create cohesive, perfectly timed content experiences.

This is ideal for:

  • Video Walls: Display a single, large video asset seamlessly stretched across multiple ChromeOS screens.

  • Cohesive Brand Messaging: Ensure all your screens display the exact same content in perfect harmony, for a unified brand experience.


Key Benefits for Your Business

These new features empower you to:

  • Maximize Impact: Grab audience attention with synchronized, high-impact messages.

  • Enhance Control: Gain unprecedented flexibility over when and how your screens work together.

  • Drive Action: Create urgency for promotions or highlight critical information effectively.

  • Simplify Management: Easily integrate synchronized content into your existing Signagelive network.


Getting Started (It's Free!)

Both Screen Takeovers and standard sync capabilities are completely free for all Signagelive customers!

On July 28th, your ChromeOS players will automatically download the necessary updates as long as they are connected to the internet.
