One of the best things about XOGO digital signage is the fact that users can log into XOGO Manager and control their screens from anywhere in the world.

Google’s Chromecast device first debuted in 2013. At the time, it was simply used for mirroring content from a laptop or mobile device to one’s TV. It couldn’t run native apps like the Fire Stick or Apple TV, so it wasn’t useful for applications like digital signage. In 2020, however, Google released the 4th generation Chromecast. This latest model comes in HD or 4K versions, runs Android 10 and comes with the user-friendly Google TV interface, which lets users install apps like HBO, Netflix, and of course XOGO Player.

Digital signage content tends to be silent, unless you have videos in your playlist that contain an audio track (which can become annoying if you have the playlist on rotation all day long).

Smart TVs are fantastic for digital signage, for a number of reasons.
