UrbanLoop Signage · Industries
Keep the campus informed, one useful screen at a time.
Put announcements, events, menus, and everyday information where students, staff, and visitors can see them.
How can a school use UrbanLoop? Connect familiar content to Apple TV displays, choose the right playlists for each area, and manage schedules and access across a school or several campuses.
Give each part of campus useful information.
Entrances and reception
Welcome visitors, show today’s events, and point people toward the right building or office.
Show a calendar →Hallways and shared areas
Rotate deadlines, club meetings, performances, and student work with enough time to read each message.
Use Google Slides →Dining and student spaces
Show menus, opening hours, activities, and notices that suit the people using the space.
Prepare files and video →Start with the job of each display. A reception screen and a staff-room screen may share a school identity while needing different content, timing, and access.
Keep familiar editing tools in the workflow.
Staff can maintain announcements in Google Slides, use a Drive folder for supported files, or display events from Google Calendar. UrbanLoop connects those sources to the playlists assigned to your Apple TVs.
Google Slides synchronization supports high-quality 4K capture on Pro. Prepare the presentation for its display orientation and viewing distance, then check the actual screen. Connected sources need the right account access and time to refresh.
Plan around the school day.
Use slide and playlist schedules for morning notices, lunchtime information, and event reminders. Give a campaign an end date so an old deadline does not stay in rotation.
A TV can have several playlists. For example, keep regular campus notices available and schedule a separate playlist for an open evening. Review the rules on both the playlists and their slides, including any exclusive windows and priorities.
Use power-save schedules for planned off-hours. Review holidays, local times, and the actual TV’s power settings before applying the same rule across campus.
Let the right people maintain each area.
Use sites and curator access to organize buildings or campuses and the people working with their content. Keep common notices available where they belong, and assign location-specific material deliberately.
For shared screen settings, use TV groups. Review the selected TVs before applying changes, especially when classrooms, corridors, and reception areas have different hours or display layouts.
Roll out at a pace your IT team can check.
Pilot one display
Follow the first-screen setup guide. Choose a real location, a compatible Apple TV, and a small playlist.
Check the everyday details
Review text size, orientation, network access, source updates, schedules, and who will maintain the content.
Use managed deployment where it fits
For an Apple TV fleet, review MDM and Auto-Sync. Pilot the configuration and site mapping before repeating it.
Verify representative screens
Use remote captures and status checks, plus physical checks for sound, visibility, and opening-hour behavior.
Prepare important messages before they are needed.
UrbanLoop supports manual and RSS/Atom-triggered alerts with target groups, expiration, and clearing controls. Agree who owns the workflow and run a clearly labeled, coordinated test.
Include signage in the school’s wider communication plan. Check that the intended devices are active and that physical screens can show the message.
Start with one place and a clear owner.
Choose the screen that has the clearest purpose, give someone responsibility for its content, and build from a working pilot. UrbanLoop can help you plan a campus rollout and the content workflow around it.
