Multi-Screen Digital Signage Without Per-Screen Fees
Multi-screen digital signage lets you control many TVs or displays from one account, with each screen showing its own content. In WidgitBoard you create a named display for each screen — Lobby TV, Bar TV, Menu Board — assign it a layout, and open its link on that screen. Change the assignment or edit a layout and every affected screen updates within seconds. All of it costs one flat $19.99/month, however many screens you run.
Key takeaways
- Each screen gets its own link and its own board, managed from one dashboard.
- Edits and reassignments reach the screens live — no one has to touch the TV.
- Works on any screen with a web browser: Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, Raspberry Pi, tablets, PCs.
- Unlimited screens for $19.99/month or $190/year. Per-screen tools charge $8–$20 for every screen.
- Schedules can switch boards automatically by time of day — for every screen or just the screens you pick.

How to set up multiple screens in WidgitBoard
You don't need a media player per screen or any special hardware. Each display is just a web page that shows the board you assigned to it.
- 1
Build your boards
Design a layout for each purpose — a lobby welcome board, a menu board, a staff dashboard — in the drag-and-drop editor with 145+ widgets.
- 2
Create a named display for each screen
Open the Display Manager, name the screen (for example "Lobby TV") and pick which layout it shows. Each display gets a unique URL and a QR code.
- 3
Open the link on the screen
On the TV, Fire TV Stick or computer driving the screen, open the display URL and sign in once. It starts showing its board full screen.
- 4
Update from anywhere
Edit a layout or switch which board a screen shows. Screens that are signed in pick up the change live, within seconds.
Why per-screen pricing gets expensive
Most digital signage software charges for every screen, every month. That's fine for one or two displays, but the bill grows with every TV you add — 10 screens on an $8-per-screen plan is $80 a month, or $960 a year.
WidgitBoard charges one flat price for unlimited screens: $19.99 a month, or $190 a year. Adding a fifth, tenth or twentieth screen costs nothing extra, so you can put a screen anywhere it's useful instead of rationing them.
What you can do with multiple screens
Different content per screen
The bar shows drink specials, the lobby shows a welcome board, the break room shows the staff schedule — all from one account.
Live updates
Reassign a screen or edit a board and the change appears on every signed-in screen showing it, without a reload.
Scheduled content
Switch boards by day and time — breakfast menu in the morning, dinner menu at night. Each schedule can run on all screens or only the screens you choose.
Playlists and rules
Rotate several boards on one screen, or change content based on conditions like the weather.
Announcements and alerts
Push an urgent announcement with start and end times so it overrides normal content while it's active.
Keeps running offline
Screens keep the last board they loaded, so a short internet outage doesn't blank your displays.
Multi-screen cost: flat rate vs per-screen
Drag the slider to your number of screens and compare what the software costs per month and per year.

Multi-screen digital signage FAQ
Can I show different content on different screens?
Yes. Create a named display for each screen in the Display Manager and assign each one its own layout. Each display has a unique link, so every screen shows only the board assigned to it.
Is there a limit on how many screens I can use?
No. The WidgitBoard Pro plan includes unlimited screens for $19.99 per month or $190 per year. There are no per-screen fees.
What hardware do I need for each screen?
Any device with a modern web browser: a Smart TV, an Amazon Fire TV Stick, a Raspberry Pi, a tablet, or a computer connected to the display. No proprietary media player is required.
Do screens update automatically when I change something?
Yes. When you edit a layout or change which layout a display shows, screens that are signed in to your account pick up the change live, usually within seconds.
Can one image stretch across several TVs like a video wall?
Not currently. Each screen shows its own complete board. You can place screens side by side with coordinated boards, but WidgitBoard doesn't split one image across multiple displays.
Can I schedule content changes?
Yes. Layout schedules switch boards by day of the week and time of day, and each schedule can run on every screen or only the screens you pick — so the bar TV can run happy hour while the lobby keeps its welcome board. Playlists and content rules currently apply to all screens.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Screens keep showing the last board they loaded. Live data widgets like weather or news refresh again once the connection returns.
