keyTakeaways:
  - Office screens reach the people email misses — especially deskless, shift-based and hybrid staff.
  - Match content to the space - welcome and brand in reception, news and recognition in kitchens, live dashboards in operations areas.
  - Keep screens fresh with a mix of scheduled updates and live widgets such as calendars, dashboards and news feeds.
faq:
  - question: What is office digital signage?
    answer: Office digital signage is a network of screens in workplaces — reception, kitchens, corridors, operations floors — that shows company news, announcements, dashboards and visitor information, managed centrally from software.
  - question: What should I show on office screens?
    answer: Company news and announcements, team recognition, upcoming events, live KPI dashboards, safety notices, visitor welcome messages, weather and local transport — rotated so no screen goes stale.
  - question: Can office screens show live dashboards?
    answer: Yes. Loopvew can display web pages and web dashboards as a playlist item, so a live KPI view or status board stays current without anyone re-uploading screenshots.

Office digital signage is a set of screens across a workplace that shows company news, announcements, dashboards and visitor information, managed centrally from software. Its main job is reach: getting messages to people who don't read the all-staff email.

## Why internal comms teams use screens

- **Deskless staff.** Warehouse, retail, manufacturing and facilities teams rarely check email during a shift.
- **Hybrid offices.** People who are in two days a week miss what was posted on the other three.
- **Information overload.** A short message on a screen by the coffee machine can outperform a long email that sits unread.

## Match content to the space

| Space | What works | What to avoid |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Reception | Visitor welcome, brand story, Wi-Fi details, weather | Internal metrics |
| Kitchens and break areas | News, recognition, events, birthdays, surveys | Dense text |
| Corridors near meeting rooms | Today's room bookings, wayfinding | Long videos |
| Operations floors | Live KPIs, targets, safety stats, alerts | Anything decorative |
| Lifts and lobbies | One-line announcements | Multi-slide stories |

## A content mix that stays interesting

Screens fail when they show the same five slides for six months. A healthy mix:

1. **Timely announcements** — policy updates, office closures, all-hands reminders. Schedule them to expire.
2. **People content** — new joiners, recognition, team wins.
3. **Live content** — [web dashboards](/how-to/display-a-website-or-dashboard), calendars, [news tickers](/how-to/add-a-scrolling-news-ticker) and [weather](/how-to/add-a-live-weather-widget) update themselves.
4. **Evergreen reminders** — safety, values, how to get IT help.

Aim for a loop of two to three minutes in break areas and under a minute in transit spaces.

## Who publishes what

The fastest way to kill office signage is a single bottleneck. A simple model:

- **Internal comms** owns the company-wide playlist.
- **Site or team leads** own a local playlist for their building or floor.
- **Operations** owns dashboard screens.

In Loopvew, [groups](/how-to/manage-screens-remotely) keep these separate: publish the company playlist to every screen, and local playlists to one site's group.

## Measure what matters

You can't click a screen, but you can measure its effect: attendance at events that were promoted on screens, survey responses via a short link or QR code, and fewer "I didn't know about that" moments. Rotate and retire content that isn't pulling its weight.

## Getting started

Start with the two places everyone passes — reception and the kitchen. Run a four-week content calendar, then extend to operations dashboards. Read how Loopvew supports [offices](/solutions/industries/offices) and [internal communications](/solutions/use-cases/internal-comms).
