Fugo Academy

Playlists are the core concept at the heart of content creation with Fugo. We think publishing your content should be so easy that anybody on any team in any business can do it.

It just takes 3 steps - choose your content, choose your screen or screen group, then choose your schedule and bam - done.

But in case you do need a little help, here's a quick guide for how to create and publish a playlist with Fugo CMS.

Before we get started, there are a couple things to note:

• If you haven't already signed up for Fugo yet, you can start your 14-day free trial here.
• You don't need to have a screen in order to create a playlist, but you will need to have paired a screen to our CMS in order to publish your playlist. For how to do that, check out this guide.  If you want to know which player platforms we support, check out our hardware page.

Let's get started!

How to publish playlists with Fugo CMS

1) Log in to your Fugo account.

2) Navigate to the Playlist page in the top navigation bar.

3) Click the “Create Playlist” button.

4) Start by giving your playlist a name in the top left corner of the page. I’ll call mine “Sarah’s playlist.”

5) You can add screens, content, or schedule in any order. For the sake of ease, I’ll start with adding a screen. Click “Select Screens” and choose the screen or screen group where you want this playlist to run.

6) Select content to add to your playlist by clicking “Select Content” and choosing from your media or apps. Click “Add Items” when you’ve finished choosing your content.

7) Finally, if you’d like to schedule your content, you can start by indicating the start and end dates under “Date Range.” Tick the box for “No End Date” if you want your content to play indefinitely.

8) You can also set the week schedule by clicking and dragging along the schedule. Alternatively, you can select just “Workdays” or “Weekends” in the top right corner of the schedule if you want your playlist to run only on those days. If you want your content to run 24/7, you can click “Select All.”

Hint: Selecting “Workdays” will set your content to run from 8am - 7pm. You can change those hours by clicking on a day block, and manually entering the run times in the day’s window.

9) Once your schedule is set, click “Publish” in the right top hand corner to publish your new playlist! If you don’t want to publish right away, just click “Finish later” and it will save your playlist for you to edit later.

Viola - your content is live!

Hint: When you’re ready to come back to your playlist, you’ll find it saved on your Playlists page. Click “Publish” or select “Edit” from the dotted menu at the right of the playlist panel.

There you go! It really is that easy to publish your content with Fugo!

If you have any questions regarding set up, publishing, or hardware, you can contact our support team any time at support@fugo.ai.

Happy publishing 📺

Twitter is where your org goes to share its voice - to tweet, retweet, chime in on threads, interact with customers, go viral, or just keep your business in the conversations that are most relevant to you & your audience.

Fugo’s Twitter app for digital signage allows you to easily share your Twitter feed in real time, as it updates, to your screens! Not only will it showcase that you’re social media game is on top - you can enlist your screens to grow your online audience!

Here’s how to get started:

1.Install the Twitter Feed app

1.1 Log into  your Fugo Account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can start your 14-day free trial here.

1.2 Click Apps in the top navigation bar  to get to our app store.

1.3 Scroll to find the Twitter Feed app in the store. To find it even faster, you can search for it via the search bar at the top of the store!

1.4 Click Try App to create a new playlist with the app.

Now that you’ve added the app to a playlist, let’s take a look at how to customize the settings!

2. Customize the Twitter app

2.1 A pop-up window will appear where you can customize the app’s settings.

2.2 First, click Login to Twitter in the right-hand settings panel in order to give Fugo access to your Twitter account.

2.3 This will open a new pop window asking you to authorize Fugo to access your account. Click Authorize app in the top left hand corner.

2.4 Your tweets will now appear in the window for previewing. The app settings will appear in the right hand panel.

2.5 First you can set the Duration per tweet (video tweets will run for the full duration of the video.) We recommend keeping it at the default 10 seconds.

2.6 Next you can set how many tweets to show.

2.7 You can also change the Background Color of your tweets. Usually it’s a good idea for the content on your digital signage screen to be consistent with your business branding. You can change the background colour to match your branding in the app settings: Either copy and paste the hexadecimal colour code or choose one from the color picker.

2.8 Finally, you can turn on Offline Mode. We recommend using this if your digital signage player does not have a reliable internet connection. When enabled, offline mode stores all the Tweets on your players so that when the internet connection is down your playback is not affected.

2.9 When you’re all done, click Save Changes in the bottom right hand corner of the window.

Hint: if you want to change the settings of the app at any point later, just click the Setup button on the app’s panel on the playlist page.

Almost there! Now that you’ve got the app set up to your preferences, let’s look at how to finish building your playlist and publish it.

3.1 Give your playlist a name (we suggest making it something relevant to distinguish it from other playlists later on down the road.)

3.2 Click Select Screens to choose where to publish your playlist.

3.3 If desired, you can add more content to your playlist by clicking Add More Content and choosing other apps or uploading media.

3.4 Finally, you can change the schedule of your content by setting the start and end date, and clicking Week Schedule to edit the days and times your content will run.

And there you have it! If you find yourself still scratching your head, you can contact our team for help any time at support@fugo.ai.

IAdea players are robust, professional digital signage players that make a great hardware option for screen networks that have higher demands for reliability.

As an official IAdea partner, Fugo supports all of its digital signage players!

If you're deciding which player to go with, make sure to purchase one with Android 7.1, as they'll be able to support more Fugo Apps.

As for our pick, we recommend the MBR-1100 A7. Its stability and affordability make it one of the most popular digital signage players on the market. If you're planing to build video walls with 4K video playback, then IAdea players from the XMP series will definitely be your friend 👍

This guide will walk you through how to pair your IAdea player with Fugo.

Let’s get started!

Before installing Fugo onto your device, make sure:

• Your player is connected to the screen via HDMI cable.

(Note: if you’re looking to build a screen wall/mosaic, contact sales@fugo.ai about an integrator 😎)

• Your player is updated with the latest firmware

1.Installing Fugo

1.1 Go to the homepage of the IAdea Player app. You can do this by clicking and holding the left mouse button in any corner of the screen.

1.2 Select the Set Content button.

1.3 In the content URL box, enter: https://player.fugo.ai

1.4 This will launch the Fugo Player app on your screen:

From here, you’ll need to follow the steps for pairing your screen to Fugo CMS. You can find instructions for that here.

If you have any questions regarding set up, publishing, or hardware, you can contact our support team any time at support@fugo.ai.

Stories are lurking within your data silos. Stories that can drive successful outcomes for your business across your teams - Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Accounts, Logistics, Finance, Product… the data is all there.

Looker’s data visualizations allow you to pull out those stories via collated dashboards which you can now display in conference rooms, warehouses, store rooms, sales offices, or wherever you need quick and central access to your data - which becomes expensive and difficult to distribute with a login tool.

Fugo’s Looker app gives you the ability to securely integrate data visualization from your Looker dashboards into your digital signage, without making sensitive data public.

Combine your screens and data to help your teams do their jobs and understand the business better - with Fugo’s Looker app 😎

When it comes to running the news in your office, restaurant, school, reception area, or lobby, you’ve basically always had two options:

• Flip on a noisy live broadcast that disrupts the environment and subjects your audience to a news stream they can’t tune out even if they want to.
  
• Mute the TV - forcing interested audience members to choose between the unpleasant experience of trying to follow a live news broadcast via closed captions (admit it, we all know that sucks) or losing interest in your screens altogether.

What a waste, no? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to display news content in easily digestible bits that eliminate the distracting hum of a live broadcast and increase the engagement rate of your audience with your screens?

With Fugo’s Fox News app, you can do exactly that! Our app pulls headlines in real time, automatically updating them on screen so you don’t have to do any fiddling or refreshing.

And your audience can engage with the news in a way that makes sense for your busy environment - in headline form that constantly updates and rolls across your screen.

Note: if you’ve already set up G Suite and purchased Chrome licenses for your devices, you can skip down to part 2 of the Fugo Chrome OS Setup Guide below.

What you need to run Fugo in kiosk mode

Breaking down Chrome Enterprise device management

When running your digital signage on a Chrome device, we recommend using Fugo in kiosk mode.

Chrome devices include those that run on Chrome OS: Chromebits, Chromeboxes, Chromebases, and Chromebooks.

Kiosk mode allows you to run a single app on your Chrome device and lock it to keep anyone from interfering with it. Also, if there's a power failure or the app crashes, the device will auto-reboot the app again.

All Chrome devices require a Chrome license (a license you buy for device management) to run Fugo in kiosk mode. This license ties your Chrome device to your G Suite domain.

You can read this article for an in-depth explanation of the service and subscription options for Chrome devices, but the short version is that a Chrome Enterprise annual license will cost you $50 annually per device, while a Chrome Enterprise perpetual license will cost you $150 per device for the lifespan of the device. Either license will allow you to use Fugo in kiosk mode on your device.

Your Chrome licenses give you access to Chrome Enterprise, a suite of device management features for Chrome devices in Google Admin that lets you manage the Chrome devices you have licenses for. Google Admin is included with G Suite, so in order to use Chrome Enterprise in Google Admin, you’ll need to set up G Suite.

You can find pricing plans for G Suite here, but the short version is that a basic plan will run you $6 per user a month, while a business plan will run you $12 per user month.

Confused?

No problem. There’s a lot to absorb. Let’s break down what you’ll need and what the costs are:

• A Chrome OS device like a Chromebox or Chromebase. We can recommend a few:

CTL Chromebox CBX1 (base models starting around $249)

AOpen’s Chromebox Mini (coming in slightly over $200)

AOpen’s Chromebox Commercial 2 (base models start around $350)

Chromebase Mini (base price around $350)

• A G Suite account for using Google Admin, with at least 1 user account for admin purposes. You’ll need a G Suite domain and either a basic account ($6 per user a month) or a Business account ($12 per user per month.)
  
• Chrome licenses for each of your devices to get access to Chrome Enterprise features in Google Admin. A Chrome Enterprise annual license is $50 annually per device & a Chrome Enterprise perpetual license is $150 per device for the lifespan of the device.
  
• A Fugo subscription, starting at $20 per screen per month.

Fugo Chrome OS Setup Guide

1. Set up G Suite & Purchase Chrome licenses

This guide will cover 3 parts. If you’ve already set up G Suite and have your Chrome licenses you can skip forward to Part 2 below.

1.1. Set up G Suite with at least 1 user account for admin purposes

Like we said above, you’ll need your own domain to connect to your G Suite account. When setting up G Suite, you’ll have to set up at least one user account to be an administrator. For an in-depth guide for setting up G Suite, go here.

1.2 Purchase Chrome Enterprise licenses

You can purchase Chrome licenses manually from the Google admin console OR through a Google partner (the recommended way.) You can read in-depth about how to do it either way in this guide.

2. Set up Fugo as a kiosk app in Chrome device management

Alright, so you’ve set up G Suite, accessed the Google Admin console, and have purchased licenses for your devices. Now you need to go to the Chrome device management section of Google Admin console and add Fugo as a kiosk app for the devices you want to enroll.

By doing this the Fugo player app will automatically be installed on your devices and set to automatically launch and run in kiosk mode whenever you turn them on.

1.2 Login to the Google Admin Console

1.3 Click on Devices  

1.4 On the next page, click on Chrome in the menu panel to the left

1.5 In the drop down menu click on Apps & extensions, then Kiosks

1.6 On the next page, hover and then click on the yellow Add by URL icon in the bottom right corner. Then enter the Fugo player URL into the space provided - https://player.fugo.ai - and click Save

1.7 A pop-up window will appear asking you to authorize Google to grant permissions to the Fugo web app. Click Agree.

1.8 Back on the Kiosks page you should now see React App (don’t worry - that’s Fugo) as the Auto-launch app. Directly next to that on the right, click on the drop down icon under Installation policy and select React App. This will set the Fugo app to autostart.

1.9 Now that you’re done, click Save in the top right corner of the window

3. Enroll your devices

With Fugo set as a kiosk app for your devices, you can enroll them.

Note: If you’ve used your Chrome device prior to this setup you’ll need to wipe your device. You can find detailed instructions for how to do that here.

3.1 Turn on your Chrome device and follow the instructions on screen until you get to the sign in screen. Don’t sign in just yet. If you see the enrollment screen instead of the sign-in screen, go to Step 4.

3.2 If you're enrolling a Chromebook tablet, tap Email or phone. Then, tap the three-dot "More" icon  > Switch to full layout to open the on-screen keyboard.

3.3 Before signing in to your device, press Ctrl+Alt+E to go to the enrollment screen

3.4 Enter the username and password from your Google admin welcome letter or for a Google Account that has eligibility to enroll.

3.5 Click Enroll device. When you get a confirmation message that the device is successfully enrolled, click Done.

Once this is all done your Chrome device may reboot and launch Fugo as a kiosk app.

Hint: Selecting “Workdays” will set your content to run from 8am - 7pm. You can change those hours by clicking on a day block, and manually entering the run times in the day’s window.

3.8 Once your schedule is set, click “Publish” in the right top hand corner to publish your new playlist! If you don’t want to publish right away, just click “Finish later” and it will save your playlist for you to edit later.

Hint: Selecting “Workdays” will set your content to run from 8am - 7pm. You can change those hours by clicking on a day block, and manually entering the run times in the day’s window.

4.8 Once your schedule is set, click “Publish” in the right top hand corner to publish your new playlist! If you don’t want to publish right away, just click “Finish later” and it will save your playlist for you to edit later.

Viola - your content is live! You can click the Fugo extension icon in your toolbar any time to access your player.

Hint: When you’re ready to come back to your playlist, you’ll find it saved on your Playlists page. Click “Publish” or select “Edit” from the dotted menu at the right of the playlist panel.

There you go. It’s that easy to set up your digital signage display with Fugo for Android! 💪

Want to keep your audience up to date with the latest news or share headlines about your favorite topics but don’t have the time to constantly refresh the page or flip the channel?

With Fugo’s Yahoo News app you can do just that! Forget having to constantly manually update your feed. With Fugo all you have to do is install the Yahoo News app, choose the topic you want to display on your screen, then sit back as Fugo automatically pulls the latest headlines for you.

With the app you can:

• Choose a Yahoo News topic - top headlines, finance, sports, entertainment, or more
• Choose  a duration for the app inside a playlist
• Choose the delay (in seconds) between headlines
• Customize the summary, headers and background color
• Save the changes and watch them instantly update on your screen

Here’s how to get started:

1.Install the Yahoo News App

1.1 Log into your Fugo account. If you don’t have one, you can create one here and start your 14 day free trial!

1.2 Once you’ve logged in/created an account, on the top navigation bar, click “Apps.”

1.3 Scroll down until you see the app or to save time you can search for it in the search bar at the top of the store.

1.4 Once you’ve found it click “Try App” to create a new playlist with the app!

Now that you’ve added the app to the playlist, let’s take a look at what’s next: how to customize the app settings!

2. Customize the Yahoo News App

2.1 A pop-up window will appear where you can customize the app’s headline and appearance settings.

2.2 First select the Yahoo News topic you want to display headlines for - top headlines, finance, sports, politics, etc...

2.3 Next, you can set the duration for your app (how long it will run inside of a playlist before the next piece of content.)

2.4 Now you can decide how much of a delay to have between headlines by setting the seconds in “Next Post Delay.”

2.5 You can change the look of your app by setting the headline, summary, and background color.

2.6 When you’re finally done, click “Save Changes” at the bottom right of the window.

Hint: If you want to change ESPN’s app settings at any point, just click the “Setup” button on the app’s panel on the playlist page.

Almost done! Now that the app is all set up just the way you want it, let’s take a look at the finishing touches: building your playlist and publishing it!

4. Publish Your Playlist

4.1 Once you have everything set up the way you want it, click “Publish” in the top right hand corner of the screen to publish or schedule your content.
