Display content on the Digital Signage
Digital Signage is displaying in various locations across the UCL Campus. This service is available for staff to communicate key internal messages to other staff, students and visitors. You can find the necessary information about this service here.

– Produce your content in both if needed
- Existing guidance on the type of content you can display
- UCL Brand guidelines
