Microsoft digital signage built for IT teams
Disign is the Microsoft digital signage platform for organizations that run on Microsoft 365. Display Power BI, SharePoint News, Microsoft Calendar, OneDrive and internal web applications on every screen, through Microsoft authentication, without ever publishing your data publicly.
Your IT team keeps control of identities, access and devices. Your business teams keep working in the Microsoft tools they already use.

The IT challenge
Why most digital signage doesn't fit a Microsoft-first IT strategy
Microsoft 365 is often the standard chosen by IT departments: identities in Entra ID, data in Power BI, communications in SharePoint, files in OneDrive. Digital signage tools that ignore this ecosystem push teams toward workarounds IT doesn't want: public report links, manual exports, extra accounts and unmanaged devices.
Disign was designed the other way around: your Microsoft environment stays the source of truth, and your security model stays intact.
| Need | Without native Microsoft integration | With Disign |
|---|---|---|
| Power BI on screens | Reports exposed through public “Publish to web” links, screenshots or exports | Authenticated access through OAuth or a Power BI Service Principal |
| Internal communications | Intranet news copied by hand into another tool | SharePoint News pulled automatically into your own templates |
| User access | Yet another set of credentials to create, audit and revoke | Single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID |
| Data freshness | Manual updates and screens that quickly go out of date | Automatic refresh from Power BI, SharePoint, OneDrive and Calendar |
| Internal web apps | Impossible without making the app public or custom development | Web Script Engine handles navigation and supported login flows |
| Hardware | A new proprietary device ecosystem to support | Existing Windows PCs can run the Disign Player |

Power BI digital signage
Put Power BI in front of every team, not just on every desktop
Your BI team already maintains the reports. Disign turns them into real-time information screens across offices, production floors, operations centers, sales departments and executive areas, with fine control over what is shown and when.
Display Power BI dashboards or complete reports.
Choose which pages appear and in which order.
Rotate report pages automatically.
Split a report into separate playback sequences.
Stay in sync with the latest Power BI data.
Combine reports with other content in your scenes.
Two ways to authenticate Power BI, both without public reports
| OAuth user account | Service Principal | |
|---|---|---|
| Access is based on | An authenticated Microsoft user account | An application identity managed by IT |
| Content available | The Power BI content permitted for that account | The content granted to the application |
| Independent from an employee account | ||
| Typically chosen for | Getting started quickly with a team's own reports | Enterprise deployments governed by IT |
Security and governance
Secure Microsoft digital signage your security team can approve
Displaying corporate data on screens should never mean weakening your security posture. Disign works with your Microsoft authentication mechanisms instead of asking you to expose content to the internet.
Talk to our team about securityNo public exposure
Power BI reports, SharePoint content, OneDrive files and internal apps stay behind your Microsoft security policies.
Authenticated connections
Integrations use OAuth and Microsoft authentication, depending on the service.
Application-level access
Power BI Service Principal separates screen access from individual employee accounts.
Entra ID single sign-on
Users sign in with their organizational Microsoft accounts. No separate passwords to manage.
Lifecycle management
Centralized identity, automatic user provisioning, and easier onboarding and offboarding.
Aligned with your policies
Access to Disign follows your existing Microsoft identity policies.
Web Script Engine
Display any Microsoft web application, even behind a login
Intranets, line-of-business apps, internal portals: not every application has a dedicated connector. The Disign Web Script Engine lets the player open the page, authenticate and display it, so you never have to build a public version of an internal website just to show it on a screen.
Depending on your authentication flow, it can automate navigation, login and supported 2FA steps, then scroll, interact with the page or show only the section that matters.
Enter the URL. Let the Disign Player handle the rest. A practical answer for the long tail of internal tools that IT would otherwise have to expose or rebuild.
- 1Open the intranet URL
- 2Sign in with Microsoft authentication
- 3Complete supported 2FA step
- 4Navigate to the right page
- 5Scroll through the content
- 6Repeat on every playback
Clear responsibilities
IT sets it up once. Business teams communicate every day.
Digital signage often becomes a ticket generator for IT. With Disign, each team works in the tool it already owns, and screens update themselves.
IT and CIO office
Connects Microsoft services, chooses the authentication method, manages identities through Entra ID and controls the player fleet.
Communications
Publishes in SharePoint News as usual. Disign templates format each post for the screens automatically.
Business and BI teams
Maintain their Power BI reports and OneDrive files. Screens always show the latest version.
Windows digital signage player

Most Microsoft-centric organizations already operate and secure a Windows fleet. Any Windows PC connected to a display can run the Disign Player, so you can deploy digital signage without introducing and supporting a separate hardware ecosystem.
Need dedicated devices for some sites? Disign also runs on Android and other professional players, all managed from the same platform.
Windows PCs
Turn existing or standard Windows computers into digital signage players that display Microsoft content, web apps and Power BI.
Android devices

Microsoft digital signage FAQ for IT teams
What is Microsoft digital signage?
Microsoft digital signage means using Microsoft 365 applications, data and services as content sources for digital screens. Disign connects Power BI, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Calendar and Microsoft web applications to your digital signage network through Microsoft authentication.
Why is Disign a good fit for CIOs and IT teams?
Disign respects the Microsoft environment IT has already standardized on: Entra ID for identities, OAuth or a Service Principal for Power BI, and no public publishing of internal content. IT configures the connections once, and business teams keep working in their usual Microsoft tools.
Can I display Power BI dashboards on digital signage?
Yes. Disign supports Power BI dashboards and reports with advanced playback controls: multiple pages, page selection and ordering, slideshows, splitting a report into sequences and automatic data refresh.
Can I display Power BI reports without making them public?
Yes. Disign accesses Power BI through OAuth or Service Principal authentication, so you do not need public "Publish to web" links to show reports on screens.
What is the difference between OAuth and a Service Principal for Power BI?
With OAuth, Disign accesses the Power BI content permitted for an authenticated Microsoft user account. With a Service Principal, access relies on an application identity managed by IT, independently from any individual employee account, which is usually preferred for enterprise deployments.
Can I display SharePoint News on digital signage?
Yes. Disign retrieves SharePoint News posts and formats them automatically with custom templates created in the Disign scene editor. Communications teams keep publishing in SharePoint.
Can I use OneDrive to manage digital signage content?
Yes. Disign can read a OneDrive folder to control what is displayed, import files, and use a configuration file placed in the folder to customize the display without requiring users to log in to Disign.
Can Disign display internal Microsoft websites that require a login?
Yes. The Web Script Engine opens the URL, handles supported authentication steps, then navigates, scrolls or interacts with the page. Your internal site does not need to be made public.
Can Disign handle websites protected by 2FA?
The Web Script Engine can automate authentication workflows, including supported 2FA scenarios, depending on the authentication method and the specific website or Microsoft environment.
Does Disign support Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on?
Yes. Disign supports Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, for enterprise single sign-on, centralized identity management, automatic user provisioning and easier onboarding and offboarding.
Can I use a Windows PC as a digital signage player?
Yes. A Windows PC connected to a display can run the Disign Player, so you can reuse your existing Windows infrastructure. Contact our team for compatibility and deployment options.
Can we start with a pilot before rolling out to all sites?
Yes. Most organizations start with a few screens and one or two Microsoft sources, validate the setup with IT and security, then extend to other sites and departments from the same central platform.
What if a Microsoft application isn't directly integrated with Disign?
You can often display it with the Web Script Engine. Provide the URL and configure the required navigation and authentication behavior.
Can I display LinkedIn posts on my screens?
Not yet. A LinkedIn integration is under development and will soon display posts from your organization's LinkedIn page.
