With Fugo's new Video Stream app you can show live, on-demand, and recorded streams on your displays!
Wimbledon & World Cup games on your restaurant screens, anyone? Or perhaps just some relevant news channels?
Display any HLS stream as part of a predefined playlist and show these channels on individual or specific groups of screens via our easy-to-use scheduler.
Here are some things you may want to do with it:
- Display a live event stream alongside a QR code for a promotion taking place during that event
- Playback a full-screen live TV channel in your waiting room or reception area
- Broadcast a corporate stream to your workplace displays, use a text ticker to draw attention to an important message
Go ahead & take it for a spin here!

Sound off on our public roadmap πΊοΈ with your ideas for how to build this app better!
New in Fugo Design Studio: copy objects in your design (such as images, videos, text boxes, apps) and paste them to:
Another piece of content in your space or account *
Another piece of content in another space or account *
*To do this, you'll need to have that content open in another tab next to the tab with the original content you are copying. Alternatively, you can navigate from the same tab in your browser to another piece of content.
Windows:
Copy - ctrl + c
Paste - ctrl + v
macOS
Copy - cmd + c
Paste - cmd + v
What does that mean?
Well, it means that you'll be able to give anyone in your organization the ability to screen cast (or screen mirror) to your Fugo-connected screens, without having to share full access to your Fugo account with them.
This is gonna make it much easier for you to "share" your office or conference room TV screens with your colleagues who may need to borrow it for things like presentations or whiteboards.
Imagine... ditching the HDMI confusion & tangle of cables. Never having to call IT in just to switch to presentation mode.

New in Fugo Studio: add a scrolling ticker tape to your content to:
and more!
Here's how to do it:
π‘ DON'T FORGET: If you have an idea or suggestion for what you'd like to see in Fugo CMS - add it to our public roadmap!
Create Roles that manage permissions for each type of user you add to your Fugo account.
You can create different Roles with permissions according to job titles, responsibilities, management, or location based on your preference for each. For example, you can create a Marketing role with editing permissions for media & studio content (but without access to editing screens.) Or you can create a Billing role with access only to payment information.

No surprise there - the RPi is a favorite among tinkerers & hobbyists who use it for a variety of DIY projects.
So why not digital signage deployments?
There's an obvious use case there. These tiny computers can plug into monitors & TVs and stream content (as long as it's not too complex) much like any other plug & play device.
We even have customers using it to display their TV dashboards!
"HOW?!" I hear you ask!
Because our TV dashboards feature accesses your dashboard in the cloud & sends screenshots to your player, that means your player is just displaying an image rather than loading a power-hungry dashboard. This frees you up to use a consumer device (hello RPi π ) to get your data on screens.
But it's not just TV dashboards, Raspberry Pi's can be used in lots of use cases when the content requirements are simple.
Watch the video belowπ to learn some of the advantages & disadvantages of RPi digital signage + how to run Fugo on it:
Screen casting (or screen mirroring) is a super nifty tool when it comes to collaborative working. But it can be difficult with digital signage screens that have running playlists you may want to interrupt in order to present or collaborate with your team in real-time.
Weβve heard your requests for a screen mirroring feature & we are excited to announce itβs live in beta now!
Check out the video above β to see how it works & let us know what you think! Weβll be building on this in the weeks to come, so feedback on what youβd like to see implemented is crucial in helping us build it right πͺ
Thereβs not a business owner or team leader who hasnβt felt the pinch of needing high-quality marketing assets but being too time & cash strapped to make it. So what to do? Offload to an expensive design agency? Hire a creative? π€
How about simply heading to the WWW and choosing from thousands of ready-made digital posters that can be tweaked to fit your brand?
π We are excited to announce a new integration into the Fugo app store:

This one's for our TV Dashboards users! πΊ π
You'll notice some new additions to your TV dashboards page:
In order to make capturing your dashboards work more efficiently, we've added a couple of new options under the Advanced Settings tab, found to the right of your Playlists tab:
The Pause option makes the server pause before taking a screenshot in order to let your data be fully rendered on the screen and avoid loaders.
The Scroll option lets you scroll the dashboard and take a screenshot of the meaningful part of the dashboard.
