Carousel Cloud gives you the ability to dynamically integrate calendar information from Google Calendar to show events on your signage displays and express players.
How it Works
Capture the iCal URL from Google Calendar
To find your Google Calendar iCal URL, log in to your Google Calendar account in a web browser
Click on the Settings gear in the upper-right corner of the screen
Select the calendar on the left-side menu that you want to display events from in Carousel Cloud
Then choose Integrate Calendar from the column on the left and copy the Public address in iCal format
If you are using a calendar that is not public, you will instead need to copy the Secret address in iCal format
Create the Event Bulletin in Carousel Cloud
Log in to Carousel Cloud and navigate to the zone in which you would like to display the Google Calendar events
Select New Bulletin, then select Dynamic as the bulletin category
Depending on how you want to organize the events from the Google Calendar, choose one of the 3 types of highlighted event bulletins
Verify iCal is your Schedule Source, and then paste the iCal URL you copied from Google Calendar into the iCal Feed URL field
Configure any additional settings as needed in both the Dynamic and Content tabs. More information regarding bulletin layout and formatting is explained in this support article.
Then you can simply hit the orange Publish button in the upper right corner of the events bulletin screen. The event bulletin creation process is complete!
