    text: Open the page on a computer, choose a full-screen or TV view if it has one, and confirm it doesn't need a login each time.
  - name: Add a web page item
    text: Add a web page widget to a playlist or a layout zone and enter the URL.
  - name: Set the duration
    text: Give the page a duration in the playlist, or place it in a zone where it stays on screen.
  - name: Publish and test
    text: Publish and check the page is readable, correctly sized and refreshing its data on the screen.
faq:
  - question: Can I show a Power BI or Google Sheets dashboard on signage?
    answer: You can show dashboards that are reachable by URL. Dashboards that require an interactive sign-in each time may not display unattended — use the tool's publish, share or kiosk view where available.
  - question: Will a web page keep working if the network drops?
    answer: No. Web pages and live dashboards need connectivity. Keep cached images or videos in the same playlist so the screen always has something to show.

Web pages and live dashboards turn a screen into a window on real-time information — sales targets, support queues, production status, room bookings. Loopvew can display web pages and web dashboards as playlist items or layout zones.

## Step 1 — Prepare the page

Open the page on a computer first and check:

- **Is there a TV or full-screen view?** Many dashboard tools have a presentation, kiosk or "publish to web" mode that removes menus and scales for large screens.
- **Does it need a login?** Pages that ask for an interactive sign-in each time may not display unattended. Use the tool's share or publish option where it's appropriate for the data.
- **Is the text big enough?** Dashboards designed for laptops often have tiny labels. Create a simplified view for the wall with fewer, larger tiles.

Only display data that everyone who can see the screen is allowed to see.

## Step 2 — Add a web page item

In the [Loopvew CMS](https://app.loopvew.com/), add a web page widget to a playlist — or to a zone of a multi-zone layout — and enter the URL.

## Step 3 — Set the duration

- **In a rotating playlist:** 20–60 seconds gives people time to read a dashboard.
- **On a dedicated dashboard screen:** place it where it stays on screen permanently.

## Step 4 — Publish and test

Publish, then check on the actual screen:

1. The page fills the screen without scroll bars.
2. Text is readable from the viewing distance.
3. Data refreshes — compare it with the source after a few minutes.
4. It behaves sensibly after a reboot.

## Good pages to put on screens

- KPI and sales dashboards for operations floors.
- Support queue and incident status boards.
- Room-booking calendars outside meeting rooms — see [conference rooms](/solutions/use-cases/conference-rooms).
- Public status pages and transport updates.
- Intranet news pages for staff areas.

## Troubleshooting

- **Blank or login screen:** the page needs authentication the player can't complete — use a shared or published view.
- **Tiny text:** use the tool's TV mode or build a large-format view.
- **Not updating:** confirm the page refreshes itself; some dashboards only update on reload.
- **Intranet pages:** the player must be on a network that can reach them. For fully internal setups, consider [on-premise](/solutions/on-premise).
