SignageTube
Cloud based digital signage means the software that runs your screens lives online, not on a server in your building. You sign in from a browser, upload a file, pick the screens, and every screen picks up the change. SignageTube works that way, with one difference that matters if your team lives in PowerPoint: the slides you already make are the content, not something you rebuild in a new design tool.
A digital signage system has three parts: the place where you manage content, the device that plays it next to each screen, and the content itself. In a cloud based system the management part is a web service. Nothing to install on a server, no VPN to reach the office, and someone at another site can update their own screens without calling IT.
In practice that gives you four things you’ll use every week:
SignageTube runs Starter, Professional and Enterprise as an online service, and you manage them from the browser. Here’s what that looks like in each step.
One screen is one device that plays your content: an Android TV or Google TV device, or a Windows PC connected to a TV. You install the SignageTube player from the downloads page and link it to your account.
Every edition plays images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp), video (.mp4, .wmv, .mov), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt, .ppsx) and PDF, plus web pages and Live Pages: more than 1,300 ready made layouts for weather, news, clocks, menus and more. The full list is on supported file types.
Mix any of those items in one playlist, set how long each one shows, and schedule by date and time. Group screens by site, so “all lobby screens” or “the north plant” is one click, not twenty.
Every edition shows what each screen is playing and whether it’s online, with screen and system logs. Professional adds a report of what played (Proof of Play) and a Control Room view of all your screens. Enterprise adds screen health alerts and a playback history.
Many cloud signage tools convert PowerPoint when you upload it. That’s fine for simple slides, but their own help pages say animations, custom fonts or layered builds may not survive the conversion. SignageTube gives you two routes, and you choose per edition:
Canva and Google Slides can download as PPTX, and Keynote exports to PowerPoint, so those decks work too. More in the PowerPoint digital signage guide.
A fair question about any cloud system. SignageTube keeps playing if the internet drops, for content that’s already downloaded to the player. Websites and online services still need the internet, so a web page item or an online dashboard will wait until the connection is back. Plan your always on screens around downloaded files and they’ll carry on.
Some organizations can’t send content or data to anyone’s cloud. For them there’s SignageTube Custom: any edition on your own servers, set up with your IT team, from 5 screens, price on request. Same product, your infrastructure.
A simple way to decide:
| If this sounds like you | Pick |
|---|---|
| Screens in several places, no server to look after, quick start | Cloud (Starter, Professional or Enterprise) |
| Strict network rules, or content and data must stay inside your network | Custom, on your own servers |
The more places your screens are in, the more a browser beats walking around. A few common setups:
Plenty of screens start life as a laptop running a slideshow on a loop. It works until someone has to change it. Moving that screen to a cloud system is mostly about the workflow, not the hardware:
Start with one screen on the free trial, then add the rest once the workflow suits your team.
SignageTube charges one rate per screen, without VAT:
| Edition | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Best for |

Digital signage where content is managed through an online service instead of a local server. You upload and schedule from a browser, and the player next to each screen downloads the changes.
No. Starter, Professional and Enterprise run as an online service. If you want your own servers, SignageTube Custom runs any edition on your infrastructure, from 5 screens.
