Display a Google Calendar

 

BrightSign players can display a Google Calendar in an HTML5 State. To display a Google Calendar in full-screen mode (1920x1080):

  1. In Google Calendar, go to My Calendars (on the left side directly below the overview of the current month). Find the calendar to display.

  2. Hover your mouse over the calendar name and click Options for "Name of Calendar" > Settings and sharing.

  3. Check the Make available to public box and click Ok.

  4. Scroll down to Integrate calendar and copy the URL in Public URL to this calendar (see the Image below).

  5. If you are using BrightAuthor:connected, paste the URL from Google Calendar into the URL field in State Properties > Source > Site Source in your HTML5 state. 

  6. If you are using BrightAuthor, paste the URL from Google Calendar into the URL field when creating or editing an HTML5 state.

Note: You should refresh the page by adding a 30 second Timeout Event to the HTML5 state. This will ensure that changes will be displayed within an acceptable time.
