Hi there,
we are a business that uses more than 30 monitors to display information to our staff. On the monitors we display normal websites created by our internal systems. I have attached a picture of some of the monitors.
Right now we use Linux-Thin-Clients for the monitors but that proves difficult to maintain and requires (at least for our current solution) a central server.
We'd love to switch to managed (enrolled) Chromeboxes for this task.
We would need the following features to make the switch in the centralised management of enrolled Chromeboxes in the Google Apps Admin Panel. With a click on the device you could set settings for each digital signage chromebox like:
- URL to display
- Refresh rate
- Fullscreen Mode yes/no
- Scheduled Reboots of the Chromeboxes each night
- Screen orientation (horizontal / vertical)
- Ideally Extended Display support (each Chromebox could then manage 2 monitors)
I imagine that would be a great solution for education customers as well - i.e. in school caferterias for the weekly menu or for libraries. It would be great if Google would think of implementing this feature.
Best
Manuel
