Get a display onto a television

1. 1Copy the display's link.
2. 2Open it in a browser on the device attached to the screen.
3. 3Put the browser in full screen.
4. 4Stop the device sleeping.

What to run it on. A cheap streaming stick, a small PC, or an old laptop tucked behind the television. Smart-TV browsers work but are slow and often forget the page after a power cycle, which means somebody has to fix it every Monday morning.

The three things that make it stay up, in order of how often they are the problem:

• Sleep and screensaver off on the device *and* the screen.
• Full screen or kiosk mode, so no browser chrome and no accidental navigation.
• Power from something that stays on. A screen on the same switch as the office lights is dark all weekend, which is usually when you would most like a countdown visible.

Rotating between several. Use a slideshow rather than a person clicking between tabs: it has one address, cycles the displays you chose on a timer, and survives a reboot.

Different slides during the day. In the slideshow editor, turn on Schemalägg denna bild for a slide. Choose its weekdays and Tidszon, then enter Från (24 h) and Till (24 h) in 24-hour HH:mm format. Save the slideshow to apply the schedule. Existing TV sessions pick up saved edits within five minutes. The screen checks the clock automatically and skips slides outside their window. If nothing is scheduled, it waits and resumes when a slide becomes eligible.

An end time earlier than the start continues overnight: a Friday 22:00–02:00 slide runs into Saturday morning. The chosen timezone controls daylight saving; the TV's own timezone does not change the schedule. Turn scheduling off to show a slide whenever the slideshow is active. Scheduling controls rotation only; it does not deactivate the underlying display or revoke its separate link.

"It stopped updating." In order: the link was rotated and the device is on the old address; the device lost its network; the display was deactivated; the browser tab crashed and nobody noticed. Reload the page on the device before assuming anything is broken.

Check it looks right from where people stand. Text that is comfortable on your laptop is unreadable at four metres. Walk to the far side of the room once, before you decide the screen is finished.

For the sales floor, the momentum big screen is purpose-built and includes a celebration on each win: The big screen

If updates fail, the display keeps its last successful figures and shows an interruption notice. It retries automatically, including after an initial loading failure. You can also choose Försök igen nu. Check the displayed update time before relying on the figures. A revoked or inactive display clears the previous figures. When a slideshow advances, it waits for the new slide's own data rather than showing the previous slide under the new title.
