Overall Satisfaction with Chrome Sign Builder

I use [Chrome] Sign Builder to turn an old Asus Chromebit into a digital display for our school. I have multiple Google Slides presentations that have been specially formatted to fit within certain parts of the screen, and then [Chrome] Sign Builder was used to display them all at once via a single URL. This means that parts of the display can be updated by simply updating the relevant presentation.
  • Allow for multiple documents to be displayed on screen at once
  • Makes creating a JSON file to feed into the Google Admin console easy
  • Can be set to work on different schedules if necessary
  • Would be good if there was a way if it could update live rather than needing to export the JSON file and upload it to the management console manually
  • Could be more visual based to make more complicated layouts easier rather than needing to use percentages.
  • Dated design compared to Google's latest UI upgrade
  • Ability to partition the display
  • Ability to set the display to switch on on load
  • Ability to set different time schedules
  • Has saved huge amounts of time updating the display TV in the front office
  • With a simple add-on designed to sync Twitter posts with Google Slides, it means that the TV now updates live with tweets on the school page
  • It is free and only costs the price of a cheap Chromebook device which is plugged permanently into the TV

[Chrome] Sign Builder is fantastic if you have specific single page documents which you would like to display at different times. It always works well with a Google Slides presentation which can be published to the web as this will automatically update on screen. It would not work well with longer documents that don't fit on a single screen. Documents are also limited to taking up a percentage of the screen starting from one of the corners, it is not easy to customise the display further.
