Zoom Room Digital Signage Browser Type

[Graham-ac]

Hi. I am developing a web page specifically to display as digital signage in a Zoom Room.
I am not sure what type of browser (ie. Chromium) your using to embed a web page in the digital signage feature.

My end goal is to find a code snippet that I can add to the webpage to disable the X&Y scroll bars withe page is wider or taller than the display.

Hello @Graham-ac 

I am not sure exactly what your use-case is here, but Digital Signage is already built-in into the Zoom Room, and there is a variety of content you can setup in the "Signage Playlist" including URLs, and as far as I know, it will show the content but not the browser so you don't need to worry about removing, Frames, Scroll Bars, URL or Menu bars, etc.

Even more, you could use the TV's HDMI as the Input for the Digital Signage so that means you can connect any cheap Chromebox (or similar device) and use it as a Web Browser (Chrome or otherwise) and put it in Full Screen mode.

In case you haven't seen this documentation page describing Zoom Digital Signage, Requirements, Image/Video specifications, and how to Enable/Disable/Configure it

I hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick response @Vinnie. I definitely have seen that page but it doesn't have much about the browser.

A little more background, my goal was to design a web page that pulled in real time information to update the graphic that is displayed at regular intervals. The width of the web page is a little wider than I want it to be, and the browser displays a scroll bar at the bottom. In chromium based browsers, I can use a webkit code on the web page to hide the scroll bar, but the built-in zoom browser doesn't respond to it.

More information on the built-in browser might help me figure out how to hide the scroll bars.

I certainly could use the HDMI capture and a raspberry pi to accomplish this, but at the scale I am trying to display this, it'd be cost prohibitive.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the insight. Based on your comment, a H/W based solution is out of the question.

I guess my question is, what is it that the Web Page is bringing, as opposed of,  i.e. rendering a perfect 1920x1080 image with the content you want to push, and using an API to update/push that image on a regular basis to update the content?

In any case, if you use a Android-Based H/W for the Zoom Digital Signage, I would assume you can virtually guarantee the browser will be Chromium-based, right? 

In any case, I don't think I can help here but I would recommend you asking this question on the Developer Forum instead because you should get more chance to get it there; also check the Dev Blog as maybe other person might have been inquired a similar question than yours.

Also, in case it can bring some light, check Zoom Open Source Software Distribution; it seems Zoom uses Chromium all over so maybe that is your answer:

Sorry I couldn't help more but maybe another person knowledgeable in the subject can give you the answer you are looking for, but I thin you will get better luck in the Zoom Developer Forum based on your question.
