We do the same. WiFi Chromebits running a Chrome app that points to a Google Slideshow. We currently have three monitors running three different slideshows that update when the Google Slides files are updated.

We're budgeting to move to YoDeck early next year to give us more scheduling flexibility. With our current setup, slideshows can only be changed in real time.

Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Display screen /TV
 
 From my understanding, we use Google Chromebit that is attached to a folder that our Community Resource Manager updates on our share drive. The Chromebit is connected to the tv and connects to our WiFi network which grants access to that network folder that has slides in there.  These slides are updated for new events. The chromebit is controlled by our G-Suite account that keeps track of the devices and material that is projected on all 19 TVs in our libraries.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Display screen /TV
 
We want to install a screen/TV which would display upcoming events, library services etc. to hang on a wall here at the library. Would anyone be able to share ANY info you have about what kind of equipment we need, how you use your display etc. We would want to be able to update the info being displayed digitally without having to dedicate a laptop or computer to the device. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
