Let Fugo handle Jira on your TV screens

Set up the Jira dashboard you want to show, then let Fugo handle the recurring work required to keep it running on screen.

Connect your first dashboard

Add your Jira dashboard

Enter your dashboard URL and login details Fugo will use to access it, including 2FA steps.

Set up the TV view

Set the resolution, crop, or scroll position to frame the dashboard for your screen.

Set the refresh schedule

Choose how often Fugo should load a fresh view of your dashboard onto your screens.

A laptop plugged into a TV isn’t a signage setup

Getting Jira onto a TV usually means dedicating a laptop to the job. That gets cumbersome fast.

  • Jira sessions expire and require another login

  • SSO & authentication prompts can interrupt the dashboard

  • Browsers can crash, refresh incorrectly, or lose the page

  • The connected computer needs to stay powered, updated, and online

  • Every new TV means another computer or casting setup to manage

A secure display solution for Jira boards

Built for unattended playback

Dashboards are captured and refreshed in the cloud, so screens don't rely on an active browser session or logged-in device.

Encrypted authentication handling

Credentials are stored securely and encrypted, with support for SSO and multi-factor environments.

No public exposure

Dashboards are displayed without enabling public links, anonymous access, or exposed URLs.

Controlled refresh intervals

Set how often dashboards update so screens stay aligned with live Jira data.

Screen-ready formatting

Crop, scale, and adjust layouts so key metrics remain readable on large shared displays.

Centralized publishing & oversight

Assign dashboards to specific screens and manage updates across locations from one place.

Keep Jira data on the wall, not buried in a browser tab

Sprint board visibility

Keep the sprint’s progress in the room all day, so blockers, unfinished work, and a slipping sprint don’t have to wait for the next stand-up to get noticed.

Turn Jira activity & events into on-screen alerts

Make your digital signage screen respond to activity in Jira, giving high-priority updates a bigger stage than another notification.

Frequently asked questions

Can I display Jira dashboards or boards on a TV screen?

Yes. Jira dashboards and boards can be displayed on TV screens using digital signage software that connects securely to your Jira environment and publishes them to managed displays.

Can I just open Jira in a browser and connect a laptop to a TV?

You can, and many teams start there.

But leaving a laptop connected relies on a live browser session, which can time out, disconnect, or require reauthentication. It also doesn't scale well across multiple screens or distributed teams.

What's the difference between casting Jira to a TV and using digital signage software?

Casting mirrors a live device session. If the device sleeps, logs out, or loses connection, the screen goes down.

Digital signage software manages authentication and refresh centrally, so boards and dashboards continue running without depending on a laptop or persistent browser tab.

Do I need special hardware to display Jira dashboards on TV screens?

You need a compatible smart TV or a digital signage player connected to your screen. Once paired with a signage platform, the screen can receive and display Jira dashboards without a permanently attached computer. View supported & recommended hardware.

Do I need to make my Jira dashboard public to show it on a TV?

No. Public or anonymous access is not required. Jira dashboards and boards can be displayed securely without exposing internal URLs.

How does authentication work when showing Jira on TV screens through Fugo?

You give Fugo your Jira login - including a two-factor code or authenticator seed, if your account uses one - and Fugo signs in on your behalf in a secure cloud environment, the same way you would in a browser, completing the 2FA step automatically. It takes a screenshot of the dashboard and displays that on screen, refreshing it with a new screenshot automatically on the schedule you set. Nobody logs into Jira on the screen itself: the login is stored encrypted in Fugo's cloud, never on the TV or signage device.

If the password or two-factor seed ever changes, you update it once in Fugo. There's no need to touch the screen or repeat setup on-site.

Will this work in an SSO or multi-factor authentication environment?

Yes. Managed TV dashboard setups are designed to operate within secure authentication policies, including SSO and multi-factor environments, without requiring repeated login prompts on the screen.

Is any Jira data stored on the TV or signage device?

No. Only the rendered visual output is displayed on screen. Credentials and live data access remain securely managed in the cloud.

How often can a Jira dashboard or board refresh on screen?

You control the refresh interval. Dashboards and boards are recaptured at defined intervals so screens reflect up-to-date ticket activity without relying on a persistent browser session.

What happens if the screen or device restarts?

Because playback is centrally managed, dashboards resume automatically after device restarts without requiring manual login.

Can I customize how my Jira dashboard looks on a TV screen?

Yes. Dashboards and boards can be cropped, scaled, and formatted in the visual editor to make swimlanes, ticket columns, and metrics readable from a distance.

Can I show different Jira dashboards on different screens?

Yes. Dashboards and boards can be assigned to specific screens, teams, or office locations and managed from a central portal.

Is this suitable for engineering teams across multiple offices?

Yes. Jira dashboards can be deployed across distributed teams and sites while maintaining centralized control, authentication oversight, and screen monitoring.

Can I test this before deploying it across the team?

Yes. You can start with a trial, connect a single dashboard, and validate the setup on one screen before expanding further.
