With the webpage app you can simply enter a website URL and show its contents on your displays.
Creating a Webpage app
- Go to ‘Apps > App store’ or ‘Content > New > App’ and search for the Webpage app;
- Click on the app to start creating a new app. You will see the following screen:
- Enter an app name, this can be anything you can recognize it by later;
- Enter a webpage URL that you want to display;
- Finish the app by clicking ‘Create app’
Why is the webpage app not loading my webpage?
- Some webpages cannot be displayed inside the app editor. This does not always mean they cannot be displayed on your displays: for instance if the webpage is locally hosted;
- Another reason could be that the website you’re trying to show does not allow embedding. An alternative you can try here is enabling the “Use screenshots” option in the Advanced section.
