What SmartSign is
SmartSign Display Manager is digital signage software for designing, scheduling, and publishing material to screens. It can run as a cloud service or on a local server. A calendar assigns content to selected screens and controls when it appears. Supported material includes images, video, PowerPoint, and other documents. Template Creator helps produce branded content and can pull updates from services such as SharePoint, Teams, and Instagram. Listed connections also include Power BI, Facebook, OneDrive, Google Drive, RSS, and JSON or XML sources; Instagram feeds are available only with the cloud service. User profiles and permissions provide access control, with no stated user-number limit. SmartSign says access uses OAuth2 and content is end-to-end encrypted. Player options include Windows PCs, ChromeOS devices, Qbic Android devices, and commercial panels from LG, Samsung, Philips, and Sony. The maker offers tutorials, manuals, installation instructions, and free online training. Plans include Standard and Professional, with pricing on request and trial access available through a demo or advertised one-month trial.
