This article explains how to connect a Google Calendar to a Rise Vision Presentation, so upcoming events automatically appear on your display.

Requirements

• A Google Calendar account
• Calendar must be either shared with your account or made public

Instructions

1. Create a Presentation from a Calendar Template

1. Log in to your Rise Vision account, and from the Presentation tab select the + Add Presentation button. An appropriate Calendar template can be found two ways. Either:
   • Look for presentations with “Calendar” in their name, or

   • Go to the Content filter dropdown on the left and select Calendar.

     

2. Select the template of preference to load in the preview editor.

2. Configure the Calendar Settings

1. Click on the Calendar base component in the left-hand panel to configure the calendar settings.
2. Choose Sign in with Google to connect your Google Calendar.
3. If you have previously signed into a Google Calendar before, the account will automatically connect. If this is your first time, a popup will prompt you to:
   1. Choose your Google account
   2. Grant permission for Rise Vision to access your calendar
4. After signing in, select your calendar from the dropdown.
5. Alternatively, choose Public URL and paste a public calendar link.
6. Set your Date Range to control how far ahead to show events.
   • If no events exist in that range, the calendar will appear empty.

3. Publish the Presentation

1. Click Publish in the top-right corner.
2. Assign the Presentation to a Schedule to start showing it on your Display.

Behavior Notes

• Changes made to your Google Calendar will sync to your display in about 5 minutes.
