Beekeeper Posts

Beekeeper Posts · Premium — connects your Beekeeper account with revolutionSCREEN. Posts from your Beekeeper Streams are shown automatically on the displays, so your workforce stays up to date at all times.

With the Beekeeper integration, you bring announcements from the employee intranet onto the screens without duplicate work – e.g. news, menu plans or the internal marketplace. As soon as a new post appears in Beekeeper, revolutionSCREEN picks it up automatically.

This is what Beekeeper Posts looks like on the screen – examples in use:

• An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
• An existing Beekeeper account incl. login credentials.
• At least one configured screen for playback.
• Since Beekeeper is a Premium app: the corresponding activation in your account.

Open my.rstv.app and go to Apps. In the Alle (All) list, find the Beekeeper Posts tile (category Internal communication · News · Office tools) and click it.

The detail page opens. If the app is not installed yet, first click Installieren (Install). Then (or if it already says Installiert/Installed) click Neue Instanz (New instance).

After clicking, you land in the app's instance management. Here you see existing instances and create another one with Neue Instanz (New instance, top right).

In the editor, enter an instance name at the top and choose Tags as well as the format. On the left, under Zugang (Access), sign in with your Beekeeper account via einloggen (log in) – once the connection is active, it shows logged in. On the right, the live preview runs.

The settings in the left area – field by field:

• Zugang (Access): connected Beekeeper account (status logged in).
• Logo: choose your own logo via Bilder (Images).
• Layout: arrangement of image and text, e.g. image left, text right.
• Text color / Background color: colors of the board (e.g. text #FFFFFF, background #000000).
• Primary / Secondary font: fonts for title and body text (e.g. Exo 2 / Roboto Mono).
• Language: display language of the posts.
• Posts: number of displayed posts (e.g. 12).
• Duration (in seconds): display time per post (e.g. 10).
• Streams: which Beekeeper streams are shown (e.g. All Selected = all).
• Filter by labels: show only posts with certain labels (separated by commas).
• Default image: fallback image when a post has no image of its own.
• Stretch image: scale the image to fill the format (toggle).
• Show stream / author / QR code: show or hide individual elements.

Beekeeper Posts shows multiple posts in sequence per instance. When you add the instance to a Playlist or a Layout, you control how long it runs via the element duration. To do this, click the duration of the app element in the playlist.

Note: This logic applies to all apps with multiple posts per instance – e.g. ahead, SharePoint or Beekeeper.

In the Elementdauer bearbeiten (Edit element duration) dialog, the pro Post (per post) toggle decides between two variants:

The set time is the total duration of the instance. Example 00:01:40 (100 seconds): the instance is shown for 100 seconds. Within this time the posts run through one after another and start over if needed – so depending on the time, not all posts are necessarily shown (or some are shown multiple times).

The set time applies per post. Example 00:00:10: each post is shown for exactly 10 seconds. With 12 posts, all 12 posts are shown at 10 seconds each (total duration 120 seconds). This ensures that every post really appears.

1. Name the instance, connect Beekeeper, set streams and appearance.
2. Save it via Speichern & Schliessen (Save & Close) at the top right.
3. The instance is now available under the app.
4. Assign it to your screen – directly as content or embedded in a Layout or a Playlist.
5. At the next sync, the Beekeeper posts appear on the display and update automatically.
