Why integrate Microsoft Teams with digital signage?

Microsoft Teams is the world’s leading collaboration platform. It powers meetings, instant messaging tools, and communication across hybrid teams and business units.

However, not all employees regularly access Teams. Factory workers, frontline employees, and those without desk-based roles may miss critical updates.

Microsoft Teams digital signage solves this gap.

By broadcasting selected Teams channels through digital signage, you:

• Ensure messages reach employees who cannot regularly access Teams
• Avoid duplicating internal messages across multiple platforms
• Strengthen consistent messaging across communication channels
• Increase employee engagement by making communication visible

Instead of keeping conversations locked inside Microsoft Teams, you display them on meeting room screens and digital signage devices across your organization.

Connect your screens to Microsoft Calendar

If you want to show meeting room bookings on your digital signage screens, you can connect PLAYipp to Microsoft Calendar.

To connect your Microsoft Rooms screens with Microsoft Calendar, you must be an admin for your Microsoft organization.

Important: It may take up to an hour before rooms appear as selectable in PLAYipp after creating the connection. This delay is due to a limitation in Microsoft’s API.

How to create the Microsoft Calendar connection

1. Click on Rooms in the PLAYipp menu
2. Select Microsoft Calendar
3. Log in with your Microsoft admin account
4. Review the requested permissions and click Accept

Required permissions:

• Read organization information
• Read all company places
• Read and write calendars in all mailboxes
• Sign in and read user profile

The application needs permission to read and write to calendars so it can manage bookings for room displays.

Once connected, you can:

• Select a room when activating a screen
• Display room availability and booking information
• Show calendar updates directly on meeting room screens

If you do not yet have rooms set up in Microsoft Calendar, you will need to create them before they can be selected inside PLAYipp.

What you can display with Microsoft Teams digital signage integration

Using a valid web URL format as your signage source, you can display:

• Selected Teams channels
• Organizational news
• Company news
• Critical campaigns
• Recognition programs
• Meeting room information

The web application must load successfully in a browser inprivate window and meet the following requirements if authentication is required.

With PLAYipp as your digital signage provider, you can seamlessly integrate Microsoft Teams Rooms signage mode into your existing digital signage network.

This allows you to display dynamic content while keeping brand consistency and communication structure intact.

Benefits for your organization

If you’re looking to implement digital signage with Microsoft teams to your organization, here are five benefits you will experience:

1. Extend communication beyond Teams

Not all employees access Microsoft Teams daily. With digital signage integrated into Teams Rooms, internal messages become visible in physical spaces.

This helps employees stay connected even if they do not regularly log in.

2. Improve employee engagement

When company updates and organizational communications are displayed on screens in meeting spaces, engagement increases.

Instead of relying only on internal emails, you enable digital signage that supports stronger employee engagement through visibility.

3. Simplify your tech stack

Rather than using separate systems, you can connect Microsoft Teams, Teams Rooms devices, and PLAYipp in one streamlined integration.

This reduces complexity and supports smoother communication flows.

4. Maintain brand consistency

By using a centralized signage content source, you maintain consistent messaging across screens, meeting room displays, and communication platforms.

PLAYipp ensures your digital signage feature aligns with your brand guidelines and governance policies.

5. Manage at scale

With Teams Rooms Pro Management and the Rooms Pro Management Portal, you can manage:

• Multiple rooms
• Specific rooms
• Room groups
• Screen and device settings
• Display period and idle behavior

Whether you have one meeting room or hundreds across different locations, you can manage signage centrally.
