Teams Calendar

With the «Teams Calendar» app, you display attendance lists or team meetings from Outlook on the screen, neatly side by side per calendar.

Purpose

Organize your teams with their appointments and make them visible at a glance, e.g. who is in the building today or which meetings are coming up. The entries update automatically.

Applications

Here's how Teams Calendar looks on the screen, examples from real use:

Requirements

  • An active revolutionSCREEN account with access to my.rstv.app.
  • A Microsoft account with access to the desired calendars.
  • At least one configured screen.

Install the app

In the left sidebar, click «Apps» and then «zum App-Store» (to the app store) at the top.

Scroll to the «Alle» (all) list and click the «Teams Calendar» tile. Use the category buttons to narrow down the list.

The app's detail view opens. If it isn't installed yet, first click «Installiere» (install). Then click «Neue Instanz» (new instance). «App Guide» opens a quick guide.

ⓘ
What is an instance?

An instance is its own configuration of the app, e.g. one gallery for reception and another for the cafeteria. You can create as many instances as you like and use each one individually on screens, in Playlists or Layouts.

Create a new instance

Under «Apps › Meine Apps» (my apps) you see all instances of the app as tiles. Use «Neue Instanz» (new instance) at the top right to add another, or click a tile to open an existing one.

In the editor, hover over the title and click the pencil to give the instance a name. A new instance shows a red «Kein Name angegeben» (no name given) until then. At the top right, you choose whether the preview appears in portrait or landscape orientation.

Connect Microsoft account

At the very top of the settings is «Zugang» (access). There you connect the instance with your Microsoft account. When the connection is active, it shows «logged in» and below it the connected account. Use the pencil next to it to change the connection. Via «Kalender» (calendar) you select the calendars to display.

ⓘ
Authentication failed?

If the editor shows «Authentifizierung fehlgeschlagen» (authentication failed), the connection is no longer valid. Click «Neu authentifizieren» (re-authenticate) and sign in again, or contact support.

Configuration in detail

On the left are all the settings, on the right you immediately see in the live preview how the instance looks on the screen. Use the arrow next to the card to collapse the settings.

  • Zugang (access): the connected Microsoft account.
  • Calendar 1: selection per calendar: «Today» shows today's entries, «Upcoming» the upcoming ones.
  • Logo: choose your own logo via «Bilder» (images).
  • Layout: display style, e.g. «default».
  • Primäre / Sekundäre Schriftart (primary / secondary font): fonts for title and text.
  • Sprache (language): language of dates and weekdays, e.g. «German».
  • Beiträge (entries): maximum number of displayed entries, e.g. 50.
  • Scrollspeed: how fast a long list scrolls, e.g. «Slow».
  • Textfarbe / Hintergrundfarbe (text color / background color): colors for text and background. Use × to reset a color.
  • Hintergrundbild (background image): optional image via «Bilder» (images).
  • Kalendername / Standort (calendar name / location): show or hide the calendar name and the location.

Save & play on the screen

Save the instance at the top right with «Speichern & Schliessen» (save & close).

Add to a Playlist: Open the Playlist, select the «Apps» tab on the right, click the app and then the instance. The instance is added immediately.

Add to a Layout: Open the Layout and click the pencil at the desired section.

In the «Inhalt für Abschnitt bearbeiten» (edit content for section) window, use «Inhalt hinzufügen» (add content) to add the instance. On the right of each element, use «Täglich» (daily) to set the schedule.

Then click «Veröffentlichen» (publish) in the Playlist or Layout. As long as it shows «Entwurf, Veröffentlichung erforderlich» (draft, publishing required), the screen still shows the old state.

Tips & troubleshooting

No entries

Check whether «Zugang» (access) shows «logged in» and that the correct calendars are selected via «Kalender» (calendar).

Calendar without entries is skipped

If the calendar currently has no entries, the screen skips the app. If it should still appear empty, turn on the fallback, see «Fallback-Apps».

List too long

Limit «Beiträge» (entries) or choose «Today» instead of «Upcoming» for the calendars.

Content doesn't appear

Check whether the Playlist or Layout is published and assigned to the correct screen, and that the Player is online.
