Digital signage templates and content ideas

There is no template to download and fit. Your agent starts from one of three kinds of starting point:

• A ready-made app. A designed screen that draws its own text: a menu, a room sign, a ticker, a spotlight, a countdown. Your agent fills in the words, and the app is already laid out for a TV. See the apps gallery. A changed price or name updates every screen that shows it.
• A playlist template. A playlist with named fields, such as a headline. Your agent fills the fields and makes a new playlist (playlist create --from-template). A built-in Urgent notice template, a headline and a message, is there for quick announcements. Playlist templates come with Plus and above, see pricing.
• A finished poster. Your agent writes the copy and the look into a prompt and generates a finished picture, in 16:9 for a landscape screen or 9:16 for an upright one, or you give it your own art and it puts text over it.

All of them play on every Player, and the ready-made apps keep their own text editable. The design side is the theme: the apps come in nine themes you can switch between.

A digital poster is a poster on a screen: a picture or an app, often upright, that says one thing to the people who pass it. It can change by the hour, play with others in a loop, show a countdown or take a schedule. An electronic poster does what a printed one does without a print run. A portrait screen is 1080 by 1920 in the units your agent designs in, and a landscape one is 1920 by 1080.

Your agent can make a poster in two ways. A generated poster is one picture with the artwork and the type laid out together, so all the copy goes in the request. An app keeps its text editable, so a changed name or date needs no new picture. Pick a generated poster for a one-off message, and an app for anything that changes.

A break room screen earns a glance, so keep it light and current:

• A countdown to a launch, a holiday or the end of the quarter.
• Kudos and celebrations: who did something good, and whose birthday is today.
• Workplace posts from a Slack channel, so the team's own words are on the wall.
• A trivia round, a quote or a word of the day.
• A stretch break or a breathe reminder at the time you choose.
• Build and service status for a team that likes to know. See Show a dashboard on a TV.

• The schedule. Events, a timeline or a conference board with what is on now and what is next.
• Find your way. Wayfinding arrows with walking times, or a pin map on your floor plan.
• Join in. A live poll with a QR code, a message wall of approved messages, a photo wall and a social wall. See tickers and social walls.
• Thank people. A logo wall for sponsors in tiers and a donor wall.
• The occasion. A greeting for a holiday or an occasion over a themed scene.

A school is one place where screens do several jobs at once. The same ready-made apps cover them:

• The message of the week. An announcement shows one rotating message at a time, the same on every hallway screen, in large type that reads from across the corridor.
• Recognising people. A spotlight shows one person at a time with a photo or monogram, their role or grade and a line in their own words. Swap the name each month, or loop several.
• The day's timings. The bell schedule and school lunch sit beside the announcements at the door.
• Who leads. House points and a class challenge show standings as they change.
• A ceremony. Commencement names shows each name, degree and honours as graduates take the stage.

The schools page shows a school's screens working together.

Tell your agent who the screen is for, what it should say and where it hangs. It picks the app or generates the poster, fills it in, publishes it and checks a screenshot. To change it later, say what changed.

What are digital signage templates?

Ready-made designs you fill in. In screenRIG they are 200+ apps, playlist templates and generated posters. Your AI agent fills them in and puts them on your screens.

Can I make my own template?

Yes. A playlist template is a playlist with named fields that your agent fills in each time. Playlist templates come with Plus and above. A custom application is another route, when a screen has a job of its own.

What size is a digital poster?

1920 by 1080 for a landscape screen and 1080 by 1920 for an upright one. Ask your agent to generate a poster in 16:9 or 9:16, or another shape such as 4:3.

Do templates work on every screen?

The ready-made apps play on every Player, including the Apple TV. Pages that hold a web page or a custom app need a Player that shows web pages.

What do digital signage templates cost?

screenRIG is free, with unlimited screens. Paid plans add business tools, more people, people to talk to, governance and contract terms. See pricing.

Next: browse every app in the apps gallery, or ask your agent what to put on your first screen.
