Transform your idle Microsoft Teams Rooms screens into digital signage. When a meeting isn't in session, you can automatically display corporate communications, important announcements, or branded content directly from your Pickcel account.
This guide will walk you through the process of integrating Pickcel with your Microsoft Teams Rooms environment.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, please ensure you have the following:
- An active Pickcel Digital Signage account.
- A Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro license, as this feature is exclusive to the Pro plan.
- Administrator access to the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal.
- Your Teams Rooms devices must be running version 5.1 or later.

For more information on creating and scheduling content in Pickcel, please refer to these guides:
6. After publishing content, click on your newly configured screen's name in the
Screens module. From the screen details panel that appears, find and

Assign the Pickcel Digital Signage Screen as a Source to a Room
1. In the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal, navigate to Rooms from the sidebar.
2. S
elect your Microsoft Teams Room that you want to set digital signage content for.
3.
In the pop-up, go to the “Settings > Digital signage” and firstly, ensure that the “Digital signage" option is turned “On”, and then also ensure that the “Show Teams Rooms banner” option is turned “On” and set how long of a display period you want before your digital signage is activated.

Next, scroll down and ensure that the “Allow screen timeout when device is idle” option is turned “Off” and finally select your Microsoft Teams Rooms player instance as the “Signage source”. After completing all these steps, select “Apply”. 
5. You will see a pop-up asking you to save your digital signage settings. Select “Apply now” and then select “Submit”. 
You will see another pop-up explaining that the save process will happen in the background. Click on “Skip and Close”.
You're All Set! 🎉 You have successfully configured your Microsoft Teams Room to display Pickcel digital signage.
Now, when the meeting room is not in an active call and the idle time you set has passed, the screen will automatically switch to display the dynamic content managed from your Pickcel account.
