About
Turn your screens into a photo frame for your Facebook photos. Show the photos from one album or your page’s feed, in a grid with your own columns and borders. Up to 50 recent photos are shuffled, so it stays fresh. Works with Facebook pages you’re an administrator of.
Get Started
Facebook only lets us show pages you’re an administrator of, so check that first (how page roles work). We never post anything to Facebook.
Add your Facebook photos to a slide
- In the editor, open the slide and click Social, then Facebook Photo
- Click Log in with Facebook on the right, log in, and pick your pages. If your page doesn’t show up later, pick all pages: a known Facebook bug
- Click Next, turn on the options, and click Done
Choose the album and layout
- Click the plugin, and pick the page under Select Page and the album under Select Album (or the feed)
- Set the Columns, Border Width and Border Color, and how many seconds each photo shows (Update Intervals)
A transparent background works too.

FAQ
About the photos
How often are the photos updated?
Each time the slide shows, it loads the latest photos. Not while the slide is on screen.
How many photos does it show?
Up to the 50 most recent, shuffled.
What about posts with a video?
It shows the thumbnail Facebook makes for the video.
Photos from feed or Timeline photos?
Timeline photos are the photos the page uploaded. Photos from feed also include shared posts and links to articles.
Facebook access
Do I need to log in to Facebook on the player?
No. Only in our web editor, to find your pages.
Why don't I see any pages?
You must be an administrator of the page: ask the page owner to give you that role (manage page roles). Then log in again and allow pages_read_engagement (to read the posts) and pages_read_user_content (to read the likes). We never post anything to Facebook.
I see "Failed to connect to Facebook" in Firefox. What do I do?
Firefox’s tracking protection blocks Facebook. Add playsignage.com to the Facebook Container, then log in again. If it still fails, turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection and ad blockers for our site. We don’t sell your data, but Facebook will know you use our software; see our privacy policy.
Why can't I show any Facebook page I like?
Since October 2019, Facebook only lets apps show pages you administer. Plugins published before 23 October 2019 keep working but get no new content: if you’re an admin of the page, remove the plugin and add it again.
