About X for Digital Signage

X-Twitter

Create feeds, moderate posts from social platform X on your digital signage

X for digital signage can pull the 10 most recent posts from up to three X accounts.  There is a limit of 20mb for video playback, larger videos in posts will not appear. Posts can be organized in your chosen layout and style, including video playback and a call to action. 

What you need to get started:
X for digital signage works without X account authorization.

Next add a X account you would like to follow then click add.

You can up to 3 X accounts to follow for your feed and choose whether or not to include a specific handle by clicking the checkbox next to the account name. 

The feed will only pull back 1 week worth of content immediately, then it will pull all new content going forward if the feed is being used.
