Learn how cloud digital signage software works and how EasySignage lets you manage screens remotely

What is cloud digital signage?

Cloud digital signage allows you to manage, update, and control screens remotely using a secure cloud platform like the EasySignage CMS.

With cloud-based digital signage, you can:

  • Manage one screen or thousands from a single web dashboard
  • Update content in real time from anywhere
  • Schedule playlists, apps, and live data remotely
  • Eliminate the need for on-site servers or manual updates
  • Scale easily as your signage network grows

 

How does EasySignage cloud work?

EasySignage uses a cloud-based system to keep your screens updated and in sync at all times.

Here’s how it works:

  • Your screens connect securely to the EasySignage cloud servers over the internet
  • Content, playlists, and schedules are managed in the EasySignage CMS
  • Updates are sent automatically to each screen
  • Changes appear without manual downloads or on-site intervention

This allows you to manage content remotely, securely, and at scale, ensuring every screen always displays the latest information.

 

What happens if the internet goes down?

If the internet connection is lost, your digital screens continue playing normally.

EasySignage:

  • Caches content locally on the player or screen
  • Keeps playlists running without interruption
  • Automatically reconnects and syncs updates once the internet is restored

Yes, EasySignage uses enterprise-grade security to protect your content and data.

This includes:

  • Role-based permissions for teams and departments

Your content and screen network remain private and protected at all times.

 

Do I need a local server to use EasySignage?

No, EasySignage is fully cloud-based and does not require any on-premise servers.

You simply:

  • Connect your screens to the internet
  • Manage everything through the EasySignage web dashboard
  • Publish updates instantly without hardware maintenance

This reduces costs and simplifies deployment.

 

Does cloud digital signage support live data?
