Overview

Displaying your OneUp slideshows on TVs around your office is a great way to visualize and share data, as well as draw attention to any leagues or missions you have running. Read this article to find out how to set up your TVs to show your customized slideshow:

You'll need the Manage OneUp TV permission on the platform to activate OneUp on a new screen.

Setting up a new TV

  1. On the device you'd like to display your slideshow on, open Google Chrome and go to the URL: https://www.oneupsales.io/tv/authenticate.

  2. A 6-digit code will then appear on the screen:

  3. ➡️ If setting up a TV through a Chromebit/Chromebox:

    On another laptop/computer, log into your OneUp account.
    ​​or
    ➡️ ​If setting up a TV through a laptop/PC or Chromecast:

    In a new tab on the browser, log into your OneUp account.

  4. In the OneUp platform's main navigation menu, select TV, and then Screens.
    ​

  5. Then, select the Activate new TV button on the right:

  6. Fill in your new screen details:

    1. Name your TV screen. E.g., Main office, Reception, Sales Floor, Meeting Room, or even your different office locations.

    2. Select the slideshow you wish to be shown on this particular TV screen.

    3. Select a currency. This step is optional, but if a currency is selected here it overrides all other currency settings and all revenue metrics in your slideshow will be displayed in the selected currency.

    4. Enter the 6-digit PIN that is shown on https://www.oneupsales.io/tv/authenticate on your TV or device (see step 2 above).

  7. Save TV.

The TV screen has now been activated and will be listed on the Screens page.

💡 The status column in the list indicates that a TV is online. Similarly, if a TV is offline, it will be shown here.

Your TVs remain configured even if you log out of the platform, or turn the TV off.

Every time you make a change to the content in your slideshows, it will automatically update on your TV.

Casting a slideshow to a Chromecast

If you're hoping to cast a device's screen to an available Chromecast in your office, then you can! Here's how:

  1. Complete the steps in the previous section to set up OneUp TV on the device you will be casting from.

  2. Connect your Chromecast to the TV that will be displaying the slideshow and follow the setup steps: a guide to this can be found here on Google's website. Ensure the Chromecast and the computer to cast from are on the same network.

  3. Once done, load up oneupsales.tv/authenticate in a tab on the host device (the PC/laptop). On this tab, select the menu button in Chrome (the 3 dots) at the top right of the window, and from the list, choose the Cast... option.

  4. Select the available Chromecast from the list. Ensure you select 'also cast sound' if prompted.

    1. To hide the URL/toolbar from Chrome, just click the More button in the top right corner and select full screen from the menu. Alternatively, try these shortcuts:

      1. F11: Enters or exits full screen mode on a PC

      2. (Mac) Control + Command + F: Enters or exits full screen mode on a Mac

      3. (Windows/ChromeOS) Control + Shift + F: Enters full screen mode on Windows 11

  5. Done!

Bookmark the slideshow

Bookmark your slideshow, so you can easily access it. To do this:

Whilst on the oneupsales.tv/authenticate tab...

  1. In Chrome, select the menu (3 dots icon) in the top right, then Bookmarks and Lists and Bookmark This Tab...

  2. Name the bookmark and Save.

  3. Done!

    You can now go to this bookmark to return to the slideshow at any time.
