About
Show the latest posts from your Facebook page on your screens, with text and images, styled to match your design. New posts show up by themselves, so your screens share your news, offers and events without extra work. Works with Facebook pages you’re an administrator of. For a photo frame, use Facebook Photo.
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 posts to a slide
- In the editor, open the slide and click Social, then Facebook Post
- 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 how the posts look
- Click the plugin and pick your page under Select Page
- Choose the Post Layout, Font, Text Alignment and Font Zoom
- Set the Entering Transition and the seconds between posts (Update Intervals)

FAQ
About the posts
How often are the posts updated?
It loads the latest posts each time the slide shows.
What about posts with a video?
They show a still thumbnail instead of the video.
Does it show the post images?
Yes, when a post has one.
Can I show photos instead of posts?
Yes, with Facebook Photo: an album, Timeline photos (what the page uploaded) or Photos from feed (including shared posts).
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.
