Scheduling Success with Google Sign Builder
I used Google Chrome sign builder while doing some recent freelance work for a technical recruiting company. They had recently built a new, and very nice office building. The new office was split into several sections including large conference rooms, the entrance and waiting area, and the actual office space where the recruiters worked. Each had dozens of devices, some of which were being used to display contextual signage based on where they were in the building. This is where Chrome sign builder came into play - creating and managing signage to be displayed throughout the building.
- Ease of scheduling signage
- Integration with Chrome tools such as Google Slides
- Familiar interface if already experience with Google software
- Despite its name I found it easier to create my actual signage elsewhere, then use Sign Builder for scheduling
- Does require a base level of technical know-how - not as approachable as other tools may be
- As device count grows, management may become a bit cumbersome

The Trusted Sign Builder.
Chrome Sign Builder helps to keep our organization's schedules consistent across devices. Regardless of where they are located or what device they are using to access the schedule. For our business, we use Chrome Sign Builder to create visually engaging schedules that are easily accessed from anywhere, on any device.
- Intuitive.
- Organized.
- Linked across platforms.
- Not as well known.
- Not as widely utilized.
We use Chrome Sign Builder to easily schedule content for a given time and specified days or even indefinite days. Just by entering the URLs for the content we want to display. We also use it to show our google slide presentations which can be changed at the URLs whenever we want to change them without necessarily reconfiguring schedules. It gives us a visual of upcoming events and even announcements.
- Content is easily scheduled .
- Allows anyone with access to presentations and content to Edit.
- It is easy to set up and use.
- Changing content could be made easier.
- It does not have a monitoring tool.
- Has limited building tools and is majorly for scheduling rather than digital signage

Inevitable System!
Google Chrome Sign Builders allows me to put seamless and hustle-free calendar invites with URL links, which help me most when setting up a client or personal meetings as well, also the configuration that will help you link through such Images, and YouTube accounts is also very helpful for me since I am a type of a working person wants to listen to music while doing a report or a task. Mainly it helps me stay on track with my tasks, appointments, meetings, etc.
- Calendar appointment setting.
- Google presentations which you can have a restricted access for privacy.
- YouTube Sync video Playlist.
- Maybe can add monitoring tools for better usage.
- Upgrade in digital signage.
- More sync apps for better usage.

Chrome Sign Builder
We used the product so that we could use an ad campaign to attract potential employees and let them know about the opportunities that are present at our company. We used the sign builder in all areas that we currently have offices as well as what we would consider emerging markets
- Ease of use
- Scheduling made extremely easy
- Affordability
- Sometimes looks a bit too basic
- Split screen is difficult to use
- Device support should be expanded

"It’s more than a sign builder."
This tool allows us to distribute content across the network of managed Chrome devices that will be displayed according to the schedules. You may see a preview of the content that will appear on the digital signs using Chrome Sign Builder. While Chrome Sign Builder can be downloaded and installed on the Chrome device where it will be used, doing so on a different computer will make deployment easier.
- Schedule Content Display
- Show web content
- Presentations can be edited by the persons with access
- Manage devices
- Reconfigure schedule
- More additional contents on the builders

Content master.
Chrome Sign Builder helped us in scheduling and displaying content information during team meetings and when the team came across to discuss a certain topic. As we used Google slides to create the PPTs, it helped us in displaying that as well in an easy and convenient manner to a wider audience.
- To show the PPT's created using Google slides.
- For providing product information and current sales of a particular product.
- Update about the playlist : audio & video both.
- As it is majorly used for content scheduling, if there is any gap in your content, the audience will see "no content received." This is something we do not expect to happen in front of our customers.
- It should be web accessible so that the content I upload don't go public.
- The application is difficult to use for a first time user.

Getting Chrome Sign Builder set up was initially a little complicated than anticipated, but now that it's up and running we are happy with the software. Using Chrome Sign Builder with a Chromebit, attached
to a monitor, and Google Workspace. We didn't know until after
purchasing the Chromebit that we needed a separate Chrome OS
License.
- Free
- Works well with Google Workspace
- Easy to use
- Limited functionality
- Presentations can be slow
- Better updates

- schedule YouTube videos and playlists
- Use Chrome Sign Builder to display menus. For example, to show menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, create 3 schedules. Each schedule has its own menu URL to display the menu content.
- create a presentation using Google Slides and display it using Chrome Sign Builder.
- When you publish the presentation, set it to start as soon as it loads and restart again after the last slide.
- UI interface
- Network configurations to support more on diff cloud providers
- increase of security issues

Chrome Sign Builder
Chrome Sign Builder shows content such as images, videos, and slides which can be edited by anyone who has access to them. It is affordable, reliable & versatile. It can be used on Chrome devices which are very reliable, rugged, high-performance driven & inexpensive. These devices can be used to meet a variety of different signage needs.
- Online Presentations - We can have displays run a Google Display presentation & we can alter options such as slide change & display cycle.
- YouTube Playlists: It can easily organize videos as needed into categorized playlists.
- Retail Displays: The Chrome devices are used to communicate sales or for product information. These displays can easily be managed from the Chrome Device Management console.
- It’s primarily a content scheduler than a sign builder.
- Managing content is cumbersome in my opinion.
- There is no monitoring tool available to monitor it.

Chrome Sign Builder
It allows us to deliver content to our displays throughout the company and it also allows us to put a schedule for displaying things as well. It solves the issue of feeding information to our relative departments in the media industry which can be magazines, horse racing, greyhound racing, football information, and news bulletins.
- Delivers content from URL's
- Delivers Content on a schedule
- Easy and quick learning curve
- The publishing could be a little better, it can be problematic and you may need a small amount of experience to make sure you don't run into issues.

My overall experience with Sign Builder tool
This Chrome Sign Builder plugin is really very helpful when it comes to showing multiple contents. It helps me to save time by scheduling tasks over multiple devices at once. It is very easy in configure and helps me to run my work smoothly.
- Allow to schedule tasks for different devices.
- Very easy to import schedules.
- While using the sign builder I often faced sync issue with other devices.
- In some devices it shows the title bar button at Full-screen that is very annoying.
- Sometime it crashes my browser.

probably good, but I never got that far
I wanted to create a display /slide show for my waiting room and am not tech savvy at all so I thought this would be simple to deploy, but I had trouble with it. I think I am missing a component but haven't been able to figure this app out.
- Not sure
- Difficult to deploy
- May need other components
- Simple to use instructions
- Video guide to deploy
- Tech support

Chrome Sign Buider is good for specific use cases
I have used it for clients to display their restaurant menus. The idea was to give users a quick glance at menu options including product photos, prices, and descriptions. This menu was displayed on a display inside the restaurant giving the business the ability to quickly make changes to copies and photos which were costly using other forms of media.
- Good at scheduling
- Runs well on all ChromeOS devices
- Chrome Boxes are relatively inexpensive
- It could be easier to make updates.
- It would be nice if there were templates to use.
- There should be some way to monitor and generate reports.

Google Chrome Sign Builder - Barely Worth the Time
We run a mid-sized social organization with multiple facilities/areas that can be reserved or used by members and guests. Previously we used posted paper calendars to track, maintain, and communicate reservations and free times for those facilities. By using Chrome Sign Builder we hoped to be able to manage updates and make them dynamic, ensuring consistency between what is published on our web calendars and what is posted on printed calendars.
- Makes changes to our reservation system dynamic.
- Informs users of free and reserved times when they arrive.
- Reduces conflict because one person relied on a web calendar and another relied on a posted calendar.
- I feel that Chrome Sign Builder lacks inherent stability when version changes come out to the basic operating system.
- Chrome Sign Builder does not have a high priority within the Google enterprise, and updates and bug fixes are slower than slow.
- In my opinion, Chrome Sign Builder does not do particularly well in displaying multiple resources at one glance.

Decent Free Starter but Needs More Features.
We used Sign Builder in the past for presenting Google Slides. We needed something more efficient than trying to handle everything by ourselves, and it gave us a good centralized location to contain items that could be accessed/edited by multiple people. It was also free, which of course, fed into our decision.
- No cost.
- Decently easy to manage once you've beaten the learning curve.
- Good for content scheduling.
- No monitoring tool.
- Can be difficult to manage all of the content.
- I don't know if I would necessarily call this a sign builder - more of a content manager, if anything.

Signage Matters
Tittle Visa used this digital signage utility for sharing and displaying its media signage content on various android and other digital operating systems .There was a lots of digital signages which were required for their website and for the teams to get a continous preview of the content for approval was a major requirement.
- signage creation
- scheduling
- building capablities are limited
- more designing features required

Great Software for Simple Digital Signs
I have used Chrome Sign Builder on and off for the past couple of years for digital signs. I decided to try it because it can run a Google Display presentation automatically. Our organization uses the software mainly to communicate general information or to advertise upcoming events or workshops to the business community.
- The product is free, so that's always a bonus!
- Setup is easy and simple
- Can schedule and display content across entire Chrome network
- While the software is free, it is very limited in functionality.
- In my opinion, Google hasn't done well maintaining the software, so there are a lot of bugs. Would like to see more of Google's resources dedicated to the software.
- Would like better transitions between slides in the presentations

Schedulable Digital Sign
Chrome Sign Builder is a digital signage utility that helps me in planning the day-to-day syncs properly and in chronological order so that there is no miss or chance of escaping the same. Based on my usage it shows all the relevant things which can be accessed easily and without any hassle.
- Systematic order
- Proper sync
- Chronological sequence
- Single search also creates history to repeat
- Too much data at micro level storage
- Multiple options
We utilize Chome Sign Builder to display digital content, typically internal advertising, at all of our locations. It allows us to quickly and simply display current promotions or upcoming events to all of our customers and sometimes our staff as well. Chrome Sign Builder makes it easy for our marketing department to update and display content with minimal setup from the IT department.
- Schedules
- Fair pricing.
- Easy deployment on multiple devices.
- Customization of the default deployment of the content has to be done with JSON.
- Extended support for older Chrome OS devices.
- Aging Chrome Apps is set to end of life, and a replacement will be needed.

Google Rocks!
Being mostly Google-based chrome sign builder made a lot of sense for our business in helping create the e-branding that was so important to us. Although there were different suggestions that we were given, we wanted to try out Google firstly because it was free and because we are familiar with the Google business suite.
- Digital Signage.
- Branding.
- Scheduling.
- Meetings.
- Extra Features.
- Accessibility to customization.
- Personal branding.
