## Digital Signage Integrations

ScreenTinker connects to the tools you already use in two ways: purpose-built **native widgets** for common content types, and a universal **Webpage widget** that embeds any public web page on your screens. Between the two, most apps that can produce a public link can appear on a ScreenTinker display.

### Native widgets

These are built directly into ScreenTinker. You configure them in the dashboard - no embed URL required - and they render natively on every player (Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player).

- **[YouTube](https://screentinker.com/integrations/youtube-digital-signage.html).** Play a single video, a playlist, or a live stream, with autoplay and loop handled for you.

- **[RSS](https://screentinker.com/integrations/rss-digital-signage.html).** Pull headlines from any feed - news, blogs, internal announcements - and rotate them on screen.

- **[Weather](https://screentinker.com/integrations/weather-digital-signage.html).** Current conditions and forecast for any location.

- **Clock.** Analog or digital time and date, with time-zone support for multi-site fleets.

- **Social.** Surface social posts and feeds in a signage-friendly layout.

- **Text / HTML.** Free-form rich text or hand-written HTML for banners, notices, and custom markup.

- **Directory board.** A building or event directory board for lobbies and wayfinding.

### Embed anything with the Webpage widget

The Webpage widget renders any framable public URL inside an iframe on your screen. If a service can publish a public link and does not block framing, you can put it on a display - no dedicated integration needed. This is how you connect apps that ScreenTinker does not have a native widget for.

**Honest caveat:** sites that send `X-Frame-Options` or a `frame-ancestors` Content-Security-Policy that denies embedding *cannot* be shown in the Webpage widget. You must use each service's official "publish to web" / "embed" URL - not the normal share, edit, or present URL - because the published URL is the one that permits framing.

- **[Google Slides](https://screentinker.com/integrations/google-slides-digital-signage.html).** Publish a deck to the web and auto-advance it as an announcement board.

- **[Canva](https://screentinker.com/integrations/canva-digital-signage.html).** Publish a design as a website and loop it as a slideshow.

- **[Power BI](https://screentinker.com/integrations/power-bi-digital-signage.html).** Use "Publish to web (public)" to put a live-refreshing dashboard on a wall.

- **Tableau.** Embed a published Tableau Public view or a share URL that allows framing.

- **Grafana.** Point the widget at a public or LAN-reachable Grafana dashboard URL.

- **Internal dashboards.** Any in-house web app on a URL your player can reach that does not block framing.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Can ScreenTinker integrate with a specific app?

If the app has a native widget above, use that. Otherwise: if the app can produce a public embed or "publish to web" URL that allows framing, then yes - add a Webpage widget and paste that URL. If the only URL the app offers denies framing, it cannot be embedded, and you would need a screenshot, export, or a native widget instead.

#### What is the difference between a native widget and the Webpage widget?

Native widgets are built into ScreenTinker and configured with a few fields in the dashboard; they render reliably on every player. The Webpage widget is a generic iframe - more flexible, since it can show almost any public page, but subject to the framing rules of the site you point it at.

#### Do I need a paid plan to use integrations?

No. Native widgets and the Webpage widget are available on the free plan and in self-hosted deployments. Plans differ by device count and storage, not by which widgets you can use.
