Getting Started on Carousel Cloud

ITS uses Carousel software for the digital signage service. We transitioned to Carousel Cloud in 2021, which ensures we have access to the latest features and updates. It services both large format signage in the standard template options to select from (Showcase, Landscape, General) with features such as Twitter, Instagram, RSS Feeds, etc., and room sign signage.

Below are instructions on how staff members with access can get started.
