Adding a Calendar Feed
Adding a calendar feed to your TrilbyTV screens gives you a simple way to share current school or public events around your school. Once connected, your events will show on your TrilbyTV screens with no further action required from you. You just need to update your calendar as usual.
IMPORTANT
You will need to be using TrilbyTV Player v5.3 or later in order to view your calendar feeds.
Adding your Calendar feed
Click the Add menu icon from the Home feed and choose Calendar.
Paste your public calendar URL in the box and click Save.
NOTE
You will need to ensure that your ICS based calendar feed is publicly available. Therefore Calendars is not suitable for sharing private calendars.
Once you've added your Calendar feed you can set your categories, and other options, then set the Approve option and click Save. You can then add to a playlist, or set as a Single Playback item on your Player settings if necessary.
Below is a preview from our example calendar:
Calendar Options
You can customise various options for your calendar feed:
Week Layout: See Today's events in the main area and later week events in a scrolling sidebar.
Day Layout: Choose this layout for a single day's events. This view is designed for portrait viewing but works in both orientations.
Text Size: Select from the text size options available to adjust the display on your screens.
Background and Events colour pickers: Choose our own brand colours using the colour picker
Calendar Title: Sets the title shown on the calendar when displayed.
NOTE
The calendar title is shown on screen and is different to the content item Title shown in your feed on TrilbyTV
