With our Facebook integration, you can automatically display posts from your page on the screens, without any manual work. Use one of our ready-made widgets to choose how the content should be presented - you decide how many posts to display.

How the Facebook integration works in PLAYipp

The Facebook integration is used in conjunction with PLAYipp's feed widgets, making it easy to automatically display posts from your chosen Facebook page directly on the screens. You choose which widget best suits your layout, and the content is updated continuously without you having to do anything manually. This provides a live and up-to-date flow of information on your digital information screens.

To add the Facebook integration, you need to log in with a private Facebook account that has administrator privileges to the Facebook page you want to display content from. It is through this account that you give PLAYipp access to retrieve posts from the page via Meta Business Integrations. No information from your private account is displayed or used - the integration only applies to the pages you choose to connect.

NOTE: After you have created an integration with Facebook, you can adjust which pages the integration has access to via Meta Business Integrations. You can find the settings here: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=business_tools

Limitations

The integration functionality is limited to displaying text and images from Facebook posts. If a post contains multiple images, these will be displayed as a series of images in the feed widget. Other types of content, such as videos, links, or comments, are not supported and will therefore not be displayed on the screens.
