This guide will show you how to display your OptiSigns Digital Signage in your Zoom Rooms displays. You can turn your Zoom Rooms devices into a corporate communications channel when there are no active meetings.
Zoom Rooms does have basic digital signage features like displaying a slideshow of images, but you can use OptiSigns for more versatile solutions such as remotely changing any content on any screen, integrating KPI dashboards like Power BI, Tableau, project management boards like JIRA, social media, and more.
If you have any questions regarding Zoom Rooms setup, check out their official guide here.
The solution to using OptiSigns with Zoom Rooms is simple, Zoom Rooms has a Digital Signage feature to display content when there's no meeting, and it can display a URL. You can use the OptiSigns Virtual Screen app as the URL. This allows you to share the other screen's content on your Zoom Rooms screen.
Step by step on how to use OptiSigns in your Zoom Rooms
First, you need to set up the Virtual Screen app in your OptiSigns portal.
Then, you will need to log into your Zoom account and go into Room Management on the left menu. Make sure you have an active Zoom Rooms license and have the administrator role.
Next, you will need to +Add Room or Edit the rooms previously created.
In the Room Profile tab, make sure you have the Room Type as “Zoom Rooms (for shared spaces)” and no Background Image uploaded.
After that, you will need to go into the Digital Signage tab, next to Room Profile. Select Layout: Standard Center and +Add Content.
In the Add Content lightbox, go to the URL tab.
Then put the Virtual Screen URL link in the URL box. And click Add URL.
You will see the other screen's content, and press Add 1 item in the Add Content setup.
Once you have your Screen set up, we recommend using the following settings for the screen to have configured the following settings to have your newly linked digital signage screen running all the time when meetings are not active in the room.
- Duration: Set to 23:59:59
- Start displaying content 0 min after and before the meeting (you may want to set this to 3-5 min if you don't want the digital signage content to distract meetings by displaying contents immediately after the meeting ends)
- Digital Signage is On
Save and that's it! You have successfully activated your OptiSigns Digital Signage screen in your Zoom Rooms.
That's it!
You have successfully set up Zoom Rooms to play OptiSigns content when there are no meetings.
Hopefully, this will help to better utilize the meeting room's screens when it's not in use.
