Digital Signage
Digital Signage allows users to dynamically display and manage content on designated screens across SJSU buildings and offices, offering new ways to brand and showcase programs, events, announcements and activities.
Industry Weapon is the application used to upload, schedule and manage content for one or multiple screens. Add yourself as a user or add other users.
There are over 100 Digital Signs throughout SJSU buildings and offices. Digital Signs are assigned to SJSU affiliated departments in high-traffic areas.
