Smart Televisions and Digital Signage

Raspberry Pi

Add Meeting Room 365 to your Raspberry Pi and connect it to your meeting room display.

Overview

The Raspberry Pi is a popular DIY option for building affordable meeting room displays. Running Raspberry Pi OS with Chromium in kiosk mode, you can create a dedicated signage device for a fraction of the cost of commercial solutions. The Raspberry Pi connects to any TV or monitor via HDMI, and its GPIO pins can even be used for custom integrations like LED status indicators. Community support and extensive documentation make it a favorite for tech-savvy teams and maker-friendly IT departments.
