Digital Signage for Schools and Universities

The Challenge

Schools and universities need to broadcast information to large groups of people -ranging from campus news and events to safety and weather information- across expansive campuses.  In the past this meant investing large sums of money in a centralized digital signage system with on-premise servers, expensive media player PCs, and ongoing user training. The cost and complexity of these systems tended to put them out of reach for a lot of organizations.  But now there’s a much better way.

Introducing XOGO: Campus Communications at the Touch of a Button

XOGO Decision Signage is a cloud-based signage platform that runs on ultra-small, low cost media players and can be managed from almost any PC, tablet or smart phone. It's an excellent solution for universities and nonprofit organizations - not only because of the low price, but also because the system is intuitive and requires little no user training aside from our Quick Start guide and free video tutorials.

With XOGO, administrators can manage an unlimited number of internet-connected digital signs anywhere across campus (or across the globe!).  Setup takes about 90 seconds per screen: simply log into our XOGO Manager app on any supported device in order to upload your graphics, video content and/or any dynamic content feeds from the web, such as your university’s Instagram page, local weather or dozens of other options.

Affordable and Easy

Did we mention that XOGO is affordable?  Our media player devices start at only $99 USD apiece, and our software subscriptions are just $20 per player per month* including free technical support and unlimited users.  And because we have a freemium pricing model, you can download and test drive XOGO on one screen completely free of charge until you're ready to add more players to your account.

The days of having to engage an IT department to deploy and manage digital signs are long gone. With XOGO you can unbox a player device and have it playing your content on campus just minutes later. Whether you need to let students and faculty know about upcoming events, class cancellations or even an emergency situation, XOGO is ready to broadcast your messaging to all of your screens.

Get Started in 3 Easy Steps!

Step 1: Connect a XOGO Mini 2 (or your own player) to your TV.

Our XOGO Mini 2 comes with the XOGO Player app preinstalled. Just connect it to any TV via the included HDMI cable, then follow the instructions on-screen to connect it to ethernet or WiFi. When the PIN code appears it’s ready to be added to your account via using free XOGO Manager app.

Step 2: Install XOGO Manager on your computer, tablet or phone.

Our free XOGO Manager app is available for Windows 10, Android and iOS (coming soon to web browsers!). Think of it as a remote control for your digital signs. It allows you to upload content, create playlists and manage all of your players -from anywhere in the world- via the cloud.

Step 3: Send a playlist!

This is the fun part. Log into XOGO Manager and click +New in the Library section to upload your content (graphics, videos, even dynamic content). Then click +New in the Playlist section to make a playlist of content. Finally, click +New in the Players section to connect a player to your account - enter your player’s PIN number, give it a name (i.e. “commons”) and tell it which playlist to play. That’s all it takes!

How do I know if XOGO is right for my school or university?

We invite you to download XOGO for free and take a test drive so you can see how easy it is to upload content and set up a player (Windows PCs are great for evaluations since you can run both the player and manager apps on the same PC). You’ll find our setup instructions easy to follow, and we also offer short tutorial videos on our YouTube channel. If you have additional questions about anything -from players to pricing to digital content creation- please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss your project and/or give you a quick demo.
