How to: Signagelive

This article will cover different aspects of Signagelive, including accessing networks, creating playlists, and publishing to Signagelive players.

Gaining Access to a Signagelive Network

Think of a Signagelive network as an umbrella that has different signage players under it - for example, there are two signage players in Lincoln Hall that are associated with the Health Services Signagelive network. In order to edit the content playing on those two players, a person would need access to the Health Services Signagelive network.

To gain access to a specific player/network, email helpdesk@otc.edu specifying the username of the person who needs access, and which signage players or networks they need access to. If you are unsure of what network a player resides in, you can simply tell us the location of the TV in question that is playing signage, and we can figure it out from there.

Once granted access, you will receive an invitation email for https://login.signagelive.com/. Once you log in, you will have access to a specified Signagelive network:
