Pairing Screens via Device URL

Learn how to use a URL to add Screens to your meeting service.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

To use Screens to display media within Zoom Rooms, Teams Rooms, Cisco Webex rooms, and Crestron AirMedia devices, you'll need to generate a URL to connect your meeting service to Envoy. This setup may look slightly different depending on your provider.

You must have admin access to your meeting provider to configure Screens.

Creating your unique URLs

Before connecting to your meeting provider, you'll need to add a Screen for each room you want to use a display with.

Step 1: Creating your unique URL

  1. Within the Envoy dashboard, navigate to Screens> then select + Add Screen, then select Generate URL.

  2. Give your Screen a title that corresponds to the room it will be placed in. This is important for organizing your screens and content.

    1. Click + Add more to create urls for different rooms.

  3. Click Create public URLs.

  4. This will automatically create each screen within the Envoy dashboard. Each URL-based screen will have a small globe in the corner, denoting it's connection via URL.

Step 2: Assign your URL within your meeting provider

Now that your screen has a unique URL, you'll be able to add it to the corresponding resource in your provider's admin portal.

  1. Click on the Screen you want to pair with your meeting provider's room resource.

  2. The pairing url will be shown in the room details panel. Click to copy the link.

Once you have the pairing URL, you can add it to your meeting provider. Depending on your provider, this setup will look different.

Zoom

  1. Navigate to Room Management > Zoom Rooms resources, then click Edit next to the room you want to add screens to.

  2. Select the Digital Signage tab.

  3. Scroll down to Default Content List, then click + Add Content.

  4. Paste the URL of the screen you copied in the previous step, then click Add URL. Click Add Content to save.

  5. Once the URL has been added, ensure the room display settings have Digital Signage set to On.

  6. Under Default Content List, ensure the Display period is set to 23:59:59 so your assigned content is on while there is no meeting.

  7. Click Save to finish this setup. Repeat this process for each room you need to configure Screens for.
