Digital Signage from Google Sheets: Live Data on Any Screen
A spreadsheet is the easiest content management system your team already knows. With My Smart Signage you can bind on-screen text to cells in a Google Sheet, so updating a screen is as simple as editing a row.
Why a spreadsheet beats a clunky CMS
Everyone can edit a sheet. No training, no logins to a design tool, no waiting on one person. Prices, specials, room schedules and stats all live where your team already works.
Step by step
Prepare your sheet
Put your values in clear cells, for example item names in one column and prices in another. Keep the layout stable so bindings stay correct.
Connect the sheet
Add the Google Sheet app in the editor and connect with a share link. No plugins are installed on the TV itself.
Bind text to cells
Point any text element at a cell or range. That text now reflects the sheet. Do this for prices, headlines, schedules, anything.
Edit and watch it update
Change the sheet and the screens follow, across every location, on the refresh schedule you set. No re-publishing the whole layout.
Questions
Does the TV need Google credentials?
No. You connect the sheet with a share link in the dashboard; nothing is installed or logged in on the screen.
How fast do changes appear?
On the refresh interval you choose. Most menus and price lists refresh frequently enough that edits appear within a short window.
