How are you displaying live dashboards on TVs across offices?

A digital signage platform is worth a look if you want to manage screens from one place rather than maintain each TV separately. Yodeck, ScreenCloud and OptiSigns are examples to compare. Some platforms use dedicated players, while others support different kinds of hardware.

Before picking one, check that it can display your particular dashboard, including its login requirements and refresh behavior. Also check how you assign content to screens in different offices.

For a straightforward web dashboard, a small PC behind each TV is a simple option. Set up automatic login and have the browser open the dashboard in full screen when the machine starts. ChromeOS devices can also run in kiosk mode and be managed through Google Workspace.

Use a dedicated account with only the access the dashboard needs, and lock down the device. You still need a plan for browser updates, expired sessions and machines that stop displaying the page.

Raspberry Pi devices are another route. You can configure them to start a browser automatically, or look at signage software that runs on them. That gives you a small player without needing a full desktop PC at every screen.

Don't overlook the TV's own browser if the setup is very basic. Set the dashboard as the home page and see whether the TV can reopen the browser on startup. Test it with the actual dashboard before buying a fleet, though. TV browser and startup behavior can vary.

I'd separate the dashboard requirement from general office signage. A browser-based setup may be enough for one live page, while a signage player can also handle things like slideshows or other content on screens that need them. A mix of approaches is an option if the screens have different jobs.
