Can different buildings or departments manage their own screens?

Yes. Group screens by building or department, and invite staff with access to their own screens. A whole-school announcement can still be pushed to every group at once.

How do we push an urgent notice to every screen immediately?

Add the slide to a playlist assigned to all screen groups and publish. Online screens update within seconds. Remove it the same way when it's over.

Does it work on classroom and corridor TVs we already have?

Yes. Any TV with an HDMI input works with an Android TV box, a Raspberry Pi or a spare computer running the free CastWize player. No special hardware is needed.

Can the menu change by itself each day?

Yes. Make a slide per day and add schedule rules by day of week and time, or show a published sheet in a zone and update the sheet. The screen does the rest.

Is there anything to install on the school network?

Only the player on each device. It connects out to CastWize over the internet like a browser does; there is no server to host and no inbound ports to open.

What happens if the internet drops?

Screens keep playing from their cache, and show as offline in the dashboard until the connection returns. Alerts can go to the IT inbox by email or webhook.

What does it cost for a school with ten screens?

$50 a month: $5 per screen, every feature included, no contract. The first screen is free for 30 days, with no credit card required.

Solutions

Digital signage for schools and campuses.

Announcements, menus, events and wayfinding that reach every hallway, scheduled around the school day.

What digital signage does for schools

Announcements that reach every hallway

Post a schedule change or a campus notice once and have it show on every screen in the building, or just the ones in a specific wing.

Content that follows the school day

Schedule different content by day and time: morning announcements, lunch menus at midday, after-school activity boards later.

Wayfinding for visitors and new students

Directions to the front office, gym, or a specific building, easy to update whenever rooms or events move.

Manage every building from one place

Group screens by building or department, and give staff limited access so the right people update the right screens.

Built for schools of every kind

One screen or fifty, one site or many. The same account, layouts and schedules work for:

Primary and elementary schools
Secondary and high schools
Colleges and universities
Language schools
Training centres
Kindergartens and nurseries
Libraries
Multi-campus institutions

What schools actually put on screen

Daily announcements: Timetable changes, exam reminders and the notice of the day, in every corridor by first bell.
Cafeteria menus: This week's menu with allergen notes, shown at lunchtime and swapped automatically each day.
Event boards: Matches, performances, parents' evenings and club sign-ups, with start and end dates so old events disappear on their own.
Wayfinding at the entrance: Where the office, the hall and each department are, updated when rooms change.
Student work and achievements: Artwork, competition results and team photos: a rotating showcase that parents see at pickup.
Emergency and safety notices: A priority slide pushed to every screen at once when something must be seen now.

A typical day, scheduled once

Schedule rules run by day of week and time of day. Set them once and the screens switch on their own; nobody touches a remote.

07:30 – 09:00
Morning announcements and timetable changes in every corridor; a welcome slide at the entrance.
11:30 – 14:00
Cafeteria menu in the dining hall and main corridor; event sign-ups elsewhere.
14:00 – 18:00
After-school clubs and sports, then a parents' information loop at pickup time.

How it works

Pair the TV

Install the free CastWize player on an Android TV, a Windows, Mac or Linux computer, or a Raspberry Pi connected to the TV. It shows a pairing code; enter it in Studio and the screen is online.

Build the content

Upload images and video, or build a slide on the canvas with text, webpages, live streams and widgets. Multi-zone layouts put a menu, a promo and a ticker on one screen.

Schedule and forget

Add slides to playlists, set day and time rules, group screens by location. Preview, publish, and every screen on that playlist updates within seconds.

Runs on the TVs you already have

There is no CastWize box to buy. Any TV with an HDMI input works, driven by a player you probably already own:

Android TV or an Android box: the cheapest route for a wall-mounted TV; plugs into HDMI.
Raspberry Pi 4 or 5: small, silent, low power, fine for a menu board that runs all day.
Windows, macOS or Linux: an old laptop or mini PC behind the TV becomes a player.
Keeps playing offline: the player caches its content, so a Wi-Fi blip doesn't blank the screen.
