SharePoint: Display your News and Blogs on your digital signage screens

Valotalive’s SharePoint Digital Signage App puts your SharePoint news, announcements, and employee recognition directly on workplace screens — automatically, without manual publishing. SharePoint serves over one billion users worldwide (Microsoft, 2024); Valotalive connects that content to the frontline workers who aren’t sitting at a desk.

Connect via OAuth 2.0 with Microsoft Entra ID credentials, customize appearance to match your brand, and use AI Smart Summaries (powered by Gemini) to auto-condense content into scannable digests. Works on Windows, ChromeOS, and Samsung Tizen.

New! AI Smart Summaries ❄ feature included in the app.

What our customers have to say

“The biggest advantage of Valotalive is the streamlining of our internal communication. We can now quickly inform the entire staff and target messages to specific target groups.

The biggest group to benefit is production employees, being able to easily see topical news on our info screens. For white-collar workers, Valotalive digital signage is a supporting communications channel in addition to the intranet and email.

Alongside sharing topical information, we’re using integrations to pull data to our info screens automatically. This helps the personnel get a clearer picture of what is happening in production.”
