Stream desktop apps to TV screens
Local App Casting bridges the gap between your sensitive desktop applications and your digital signage network. Organizations with strict data security requirements can now display proprietary dashboards, internal reports, and custom applications without exposing data beyond their network. Implementation requires minimal setup - install the Control Center on your Windows machine, configure your player device, and connect through your local IP. Financial institutions use it to share performance metrics, manufacturers display production data, and healthcare facilities present patient management systems - all while maintaining complete data isolation. The screenshot-based streaming ensures content stays current with one-second refresh intervals.

FAQ
Does the Local App Casting feature work with any desktop application?
Yes. The feature captures and displays screenshots of any application running on your Windows desktop. This works with custom dashboards, proprietary software, and virtually any application you can open on your computer. Organizations commonly use it for specialized tools that don't offer native digital signage integration, such as legacy systems, custom reporting tools, and industry-specific applications.
Will my internal data remain secure when using Local App Casting?
Absolutely. Local App Casting operates entirely within your network boundaries. The system captures screenshots of your desktop application and sends them directly to your display device without routing through external servers. This ensures sensitive information never leaves your secure environment, making it ideal for financial data, patient information, intellectual property, and other confidential content.
Can I display my desktop app alongside other content elements?
Yes. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can incorporate your desktop application as one element within a comprehensive layout. Many organizations pair their desktop applications with complementary information such as company announcements, KPI highlights, or time and weather data to create information-rich displays that maximize screen utility.
Is it possible to schedule when my desktop application appears on screens?
Definitely. Fugo's scheduling system allows precise control over when your desktop application displays. Set specific days, times, and durations based on your operational needs. This scheduling flexibility enables you to alternate between desktop applications and other content, ensuring relevant information appears exactly when needed.
