Looking for new digital signage software can be daunting. With so many options that all offer different services, it can be tricky to know who to turn to. That’s where TrilbyTV fits in. As an education focused company, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Some of our customers have set up their school wide signage within a matter of hours.
Lets take a look at how your team could easily get started on your digital signage journey using TrilbyTV.
Dear diary: Finding our digital signage partner
After a lot of research and demos, I came across TrilbyTV. They’re a digital signage company with a focus on education, working with hundreds of institutions across the country. Our school is looking for a digital signage solution so we can start connecting with our community more throughout the day. A great idea as we have a bunch of tv screens around the school, some are hooked up to a laptop or USB stick playing a Powerpoint slideshow, some of them aren’t even turned on (which seems like a waste!). TrilbyTV isn’t limited to a specific hardware which means I can use the existing screens we have! Excellent!
Day 2: Implementation
Today was all about getting everything set up. Setting up any new software can feel daunting, but the process couldn’t have been smoother. The setup instructions from TrilbyTV were clear and easy to follow. Connecting our screens was really easy, once I downloaded the software, all I needed to do was enter a code to add each screen…that was it 🤯. No need to worry about compatibility either – it worked seamlessly with the screens we already had.
Now that the screens around the schools are ready to go and tomorrow we have training with the team. I’m looking forward to getting content on the screens and seeing them come alive. There’s already some staff who are eager to get started, so I’ll get them to sit in with me as well.
Day 3: Onboarding
Today was all about getting our staff up to speed. The onboarding process with TrilbyTV has been great. The team reached out to us to arrange a training session to walk us through the different types of content they offer, how to add it and how to show it in the right spaces! The Head Teacher was particularly impressed that you can add a calendar 📆. We always have events happening that sometimes get missed – but not anymore!
I’m glad we opted to purchase their Enhanced support. They tailored the session to our school, helping us with content creation and even showed us how to set up categories to direct content to specific screens around our site. I know the canteen staff will be happy to have the menu live at lunch times instead of repeating it to 200+ students! They use Canva which can be embedded into TrilbyTV and can be updated in the background and appear on screens within minutes!
It was great to have some teachers on the call too. They’re not uploading the content directly, but it was great for them to see what the platform could do. They’re already coming up with ideas for how they can use the screens for announcements, celebrations, event updates, and even educational content. It’s clear that TrilbyTV’s platform is designed with education in mind – it’s flexible, user-friendly, and really efficient. I think we’re going to see some great results.
Day 4: All Systems Live
It’s official – everything is live! The systems are up and running, and I’m already noticing the difference. No more outdated slideshows or missed information on screens. Now we have real-time updates, event notifications, and announcements showing through the day. The students seem engaged too…I’ve seen a few of them stop and read the messages as they pass by. The halls are full of smiles and whispers while pointing to the Birthday Smart Content and the weekly Heads Award. The best part? It’s so easy to make changes on the fly.
If something needs to be updated, we just log into the dashboard and make the adjustment. No more relying on someone to update slides and plug in a USB, or take down aging posters off a notice board that they’ve walked by 20 times and eventually stopped noticing. They’ve got some really useful things to help us keep things up to date too, like features that allow us to show content on a specific date and stop showing when we no longer need it. That’s going to be great for our upcoming parents evening!
Day 5: Change is in the Air
It’s amazing how quickly things have changed. The whole school feels more connected. Everyone who walks by the screen stops to read something, even parents as they drop off and pick up their students! They’re seeing the value of having screens that update in real time. The best part is how much smoother everything is from an IT perspective 🧑🏼💻. I don’t have to worry about updating individual devices or running around fixing technical glitches – it just works.
The fact that we’re able to manage everything remotely and have a dedicated support team has been fantastic, they’ve been a great help and are really easy to reach out to. I can already tell this is a game-changer for the school and I’m excited to see more ways we can use it to connect to our community.
