REACH Media Network has launched a new integration with Microsoft Teams, enabling the delivery of digital signage content to users within Teams Rooms. This can enhance internal communication efforts by providing additional touchpoints for businesses to connect with their staff. Important events, approaching deadlines, and upcoming holidays can all be portrayed through Teams Rooms in addition to typical digital signage announcements. The setup for this integration is extremely simple.
THE PROCESS
To enable REACH digital signage through your Microsoft Teams Rooms, follow the steps below:
- Access the short URL from your Player Properties page
- For this example, we’ll use the following test link: https://signs.reachcm.com/v/6.15.0.4/run.html?id=0000c7e6-00008053-67f01a2f-97c139ec-56172de7-00000…v
- Here’s where you add the URL:
- Digital Signage Source:
- Access the Teams Admin Center: Go to the Teams Admin Center and navigate to “Microsoft Teams Rooms”.
- Configure Digital Signage: Select “Digital Signage” and then “Add source”.
- Choose Custom Source: Select “Custom” and enter a unique name and description for the source.
- Enter the URL: Input the web URL that meets the requirements.
- Review and Submit: Review the settings and submit the changes.
Once submitted, you are good to go! From here, your digital signage content will act as a screensaver for your Microsoft Teams Rooms. You can even create specific playlists within your REACH CMS designed for these rooms, and assign them to the appropriate layouts/playlists.
If you have any additional questions, contact us today or talk to your REACH representative.
