Hey, I’m Mark, the CEO and one of the Founders at ScreenCloud. Thanks @christoph for hunting us! We launched ScreenCloud a few years ago, and while we gained momentum in the SMB / mid market space, in the background we very quickly realized we needed to rebuild ScreenCloud to better suit the maturing needs of Enterprise customers. Rebuilding our product from scratch has been a big challenge over the past 18 months but one that we feel was completely worth it. We’ve gone from helping “put a few images, tweets and videos up on a TV screen” to seeing organizations triple their productivity because suddenly the metrics that were hidden in silos, are visible to their workforce all day, every day. The new ScreenCloud is built to solve the question of “how do you keep your screens connected to your business” and we’re releasing new features all the time, like the ability to share dashboards securely from sources such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau. This is something I’m particularly excited about and that our customers are seeing huge value in. While we appreciate that you need to have a screen to be able to get the full “ScreenCloud experience” we’d love you to give it a go and send us any feedback, whether that’s about our UI, the idea or the features available. Thanks for taking the time to hear our story! Looking forward to suggestions and questions :)

If you're looking for the best way to control the content on the screens in your office, store, or other places, ScreenCloud is the answer. Period. As an early investor in the company I'm biased, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. ;-) Kudos to @mr_mcd, @davidhart, @lukeinth2 and their team for the massive launch!

@mecit_semerci Thanks Mecit! We are seeing particular uptake in companies wanting to improve their corporate comms, and also get business intelligence dashboards up on screens securely - so everyone is on top of their numbers.

Really exciting to see this in the wild. I've seen so many iterations of ScreenCloud and it really is the best software out there to put useful stuff on screens. Right now I'm working on a way to get our custom user acquisition dashboards onto some 75-inch screens in the office. A question to the team – will there be any push towards your own dashboarding / charting tools that hook up with things like Xero, Facebook Ads, etc? Or will you leave that 3rd parties like Databox and integrate with them instead? As an FYI worked at ScreenCloud up until just recently. They're a really awesome team, would recommend you check them out if you're looking for jobs in London.

@simahmed Sim! You glorious human being & ScreenCloud legend! Lovely to see you here and thanks for the comment. We have a very sexy secure sites feature coming that allows you to "record" a click through process for any site and then determine what content you would like to see on the screen via secure cloud rendering by screenshot. We quickly realised if it was just us making integrations for dashboards there would be a huge long tail we couldn't cope with. If you email or DM me I can show you a v1 Loom video that shows this in action.

@mr_mcd That's great! We're using something called Metabase and looking at the big picture dashboards about once or twice a day, so something like a secure screenshot type thing would work great. Will send you a DM!

This is great! I used Screencloud in my role at Cloudreach. We implemented it a couple years ago and it's still used in the offices globally. My favourite screencloud image that we've ever had was the monthly doggy calendar. Elements that i would have liked when I managed it: 1) the ability to create content folders for uploaded documents - whilst in the playlists view. However - I really like how many more apps are connected now, great product!

@rickilawal Hi Ricki, that's so awesome to hear from a long time customer! I so pleased its been a useful tool for you - I think I might ask our apps team to build out the dog calendar, love this idea ;) Some good news on the folder/content management side of things is this is all possible in the new version of the product called Studio. You can also share these folders as read only to other parts of the account. Keep an eye out for plenty of new apps - my personal favourites are Canvas (Photoshop / Google Slides) and Engage (Instagram Stories to share pics to screens) Thanks for feeding back and we look forward to working with you in the future!

Saved almost 1/2 time of our employee with setting up the screens:)

@dominik_rehorka1 Awesome to hear! 🙌🏻
@Mark McDermott - this looks amazing. Do you have an API or process for 3rd party apps to be added to your integrations list?

@jarrod_morris Hi Jarrod, thanks so much! Yeah absolutely - we have a full GraphQL API & in this current Product Cycle (6 weeks) we are building out an onboarding feature for customers to load in their own screen apps (which are essentially just web apps). If you start a trial account a biz dev exec will reach out to you and we can get you pointed to the correct docs to try it all out.

Looks great. Can it import presentations like Keynote or Powerpoint?

@erik_ringerud Hi Erik, absolutely. We transform all media into screen rendered content. A popular way to do this is hook up Google Slides - that means when the content changes the screen also updates. Therefore no need for new files to be uploaded.

Looks very useful, excited to try it out in the office! Left some annotated comments here too on your landing page that I hope is helpful -- https://app.usebubbles.com/295e1...
