Product Update, November 2, 2023: LG webOS App, Power BI and Group Sync

Published on by Lars Normark Andersen

The Power BI logo

Version 3.2 brings a new operating system, business dashboards on screen, and screens that play in step.

LG webOS app

Play now has an app for LG webOS displays, so you can run your content directly on LG’s professional screens, without a separate player.

Power BI on your screens

The Microsoft Power BI plugin shows your reports and dashboards on your screens. Sign in with Microsoft, keep the reports private, and let them refresh by themselves. Great for sales figures, production numbers and KPIs in the office or on the factory floor.

Group synchronisation

Turn on content synchronisation for a group, and every screen in it plays the same slide at the same moment. Perfect for screens next to each other, like a row of menu boards or a simple video wall.

Better timing and smoother content

  • A virtual clock: players take the time from our server instead of their own clock, so slides change at the right moment even if a device’s clock is off.
  • Scripts in the Website plugin run on Android while the slide preloads.
  • GIF images can be rotated.
  • A playlist now also shows which other playlists use it as a sub-playlist.

  • Improved scripting on Android (scripts run during preload)
  • Virtual clock, synchronised with our server instead of the operating system
