SCHOOL COMMUNICATION

Getting the word out shouldn’t depend on the PA system.

Flyers fall off the wall, the PA gets talked over, and the hallway TV still shows last semester’s spirit week.

Announcements get missed

Students and staff miss what was said over the intercom. A screen in every hallway keeps it in front of them all day.

One staff member owns the screens

If only one person knows how to update the TV, nothing changes when they’re out. Invite staff by email into a group and they can update its screens from any device.

Screens freeze at the worst time

Consumer streaming sticks update and crash during the school day. The Edge Player is built to run all day, and screen-health alerts tell you by email or SMS if a screen goes offline.

Content goes stale

Last week’s game is still on screen. Schedule content ahead on a calendar so it starts and stops by itself.

Solution Overview

Every screen in your school, managed from one place.

Display NOW gives front offices, activity directors and district IT one dashboard for hallway, cafeteria, gym and front-entrance screens.

Share the day at a glance. Bell schedules, today’s events, lunch menus and weather in one multi-zone layout.

Schedule the whole semester. Games, concerts, picture day and testing weeks start and stop on their own.

Design in Canva or with AI, publish in one click. Staff and student clubs can create slides without design skills.

Keep lobby screens fresh with Your Daily Loop. Ready-to-play trivia, brain fitness and conversation starters fill the gaps between announcements.

Some features, including remote device support and Power BI dashboards, depend on your plan. See Plans for what’s included at each tier.

How It Works

Get your school’s screens live in three steps.

No IT ticket. No technical training. No design background required.
Step 1
Connect your screen

Plug the Edge Player into any TV or display with an HDMI port, connect it to Wi‑Fi, and enter the pairing code.

Step 2
Sign in and create your content.

Sign in with Google or Microsoft. Start from a template, save from Canva, or upload your own. Most people have their first screen live in about 6 minutes.

Step 3
Publish and update from anywhere.

Publish once and every selected screen updates. Change it from your laptop or phone, wherever you are.

Your Daily Loop

Keep lobby and common-area screens fresh without anyone making the content.

Your Daily Loop: done-for-you content, refreshed every day

Common-area screens are the hardest to keep fresh. Nobody owns them, so nothing gets updated, and the screen ends up showing the same slide from six months ago.

Your Daily Loop fills that gap. Professionally curated programming updates automatically every day. Your team sets it once and doesn't touch it again.

Available NOW
  • General / All-in-One Loop with fresh content every day.
  • Choose your daily content stream and your screens stay current automatically.
  • Additional categories:
    • Trivia
