How to Display a Website on Digital Signage?

Learn how to display a live website or web page on your digital signage screens with EasySignage using the Website app.

How do I add a website to my screen?

You can display any live web page on your screens using the Website app , which loads a URL you provide directly onto the screen.

To add a website to your screen:

  • Copy the website URL you want to display
  • Go to the Management Console
  • Click on the playlist, then the layer where you will add a Website
  • If the layer has no media, the apps dialog will open. Otherwise, click on Add New
  • Click on Web
  • Click on Website
  • Paste the copied URL in the box
  • Click on Save

 

Does the website need an internet connection?

Yes. Websites do not work offline, so the screen must have a continuous internet connection while using the Website app. Once added, the web page is loaded and displayed live on your screen.

 

How do I keep the web page up to date?

The Website app can automatically reload the page so your screen always shows the latest content, using the Refresh Rate setting.

To set up automatic reloading:

  • Check the Enable checkbox for Refresh Rate to allow the web app to auto-reload every X minutes
  • Specify the desired refresh interval in minutes

 

Can I zoom the web page on my screen?

Yes, you can adjust how the web page is zoomed using the Zoom Factor setting.

To adjust the zoom:

  • Check the Enable checkbox for Zoom Factor to allow zooming in the web app
  • Use the scroll feature right and left to zoom in and out (%)

 

What if my website will not display on the screen?

Some websites use a security setting (the X-Frame-Options header) that blocks them from being embedded, which can cause an error on non-Android players that display websites using an iframe.

If your website will not display, you can:

  • Use an Android-based screen or player, as Android-based players do not use iframes
  • Enable Use proxy in your playlist settings to load the content in a way that avoids the issue (it might not work for all websites)
  • Ask the website owner to allow embedding, preferably by setting Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors *;

 

Can I pass player details into the website URL?

Yes. You can use dynamic URL variables to automatically insert player information inside your website URL, such as player ID, name, device manufacturer, and custom tags like store ID, zone, or region. This is useful for personalizing content, analytics, and API-based content retrieval.

Common variables include:

  • {player.id} — the unique EasySignage Player ID
  • {player.name} — the player name
  • {player.manufacturer} — the device manufacturer
  • {player.tags.key} — a tag value by key, such as {player.tags.store}
  • {player.tags.all} — all tags in key:value format, comma-separated
