Chrome Sign Builder is a digital signage utility that allows you to schedule and display content across your managed Chrome device network.

Chrome Sign Builder makes it easy to show web content content such as restaurant menus, images, and YouTube videos and playlists–as well as Google Presentations, which can be edited by anyone who has access to the presentation.

You configure Chrome Sign Builder once. In initial setup, you create schedules and specify the URLs for content that will be displayed according to the schedules. Later you might need to change the content at those URLs, but you don’t have to reconfigure schedules and settings in Chrome Sign Builder.

We committed to using Chrome Sign Builder + Chromebits for digital signage on our campus. There was a learning curve at installation time which required a fairly significant amount of documentation. It works (most of the time) without lots of bells and whistles. The biggest drawback for me is that very little of Google's resources are dedicated to this project. We found fairly significant bugs in the product a couple of years ago that have yet to be addressed. (clicking a button kills the link to the sheet, scheduled slides get off by one day each year, etc.) I think this is Google's way of pushing you toward 3rd party signage providers. This could be a great app, but like many of Google's projects it has fallen by the wayside and is categorized in my mind as "good" at best.

The software, while free, is very limited. When configuring the presentation, the transition time has to be the same, so it takes forever to get through a 50 slide presentation, where some slides need 7 seconds, and others only need 2-3 seconds.
