Facebook for digital signage pulls posts from your Facebook Business page. Posts can be organized in your chosen layout and style, including video playback and a call to action.
What you need to get started:

- Facebook may require occasional re-authentication if the authenticating user is deactivated, user’s password is changed, security issues arise. Generally the authentication lasts at least 60 days, but could last for up to 1 year before requiring a re-authentication.
- Plan your design based on our playback recommendations.
