Chrome Sign Builder is a digital signage utility that lets you schedule and display content across your managed ChromeOS devices. With Chrome Sign Builder, you can use ChromeOS devices as media players for digital signs.
Chrome Sign Builder gives you a preview of the content that will be shown on the digital signs. While you can download and install Chrome Sign Builder on the ChromeOS device where it will be deployed, the deployment process is simpler if you install it on another ChromeOS device.

- Add Chrome Sign Builder from the Chrome Web Store. For details, see Add apps.

- Move devices to the organizational units where you plan to configure Chrome Sign Builder to launch automatically. See Move a ChromeOS device to an organizational unit.
