The Teams meeting is broadcast live on YouTube and on screens
If you need to broadcast internal meetings, training sessions, or messages from the Board of Directors to multiple screens, you can now do it easily with World VDS Communicator.
With this new feature, it's now possible to stream any Microsoft Teams meeting in real time via external streaming services like YouTube, Livestream, YouStream, and others - and have it displayed automatically on your digital signage screens.
Why is this useful?
This feature allows you to:
- Share remote training sessions with employees across multiple physical locations
- Display institutional messages or live events on your Corporate TV screens
- Make strategic meetings visible across the organisation, when appropriate
- Improve transparency and internal cohesion by keeping everyone informed in real time
How does it work?
The process is simple and intuitive:
- Activate the "Custom Streaming" app in Microsoft Teams (available in the Teams app store)
- Start your meeting and, via that app, enter the URL and stream key provided by your external streaming platform (e.g., YouTube)
- In World VDS Communicator, insert that URL into a slide of your playlist, using one of the integrated apps:
- The stream will then automatically play on the selected screens
What do you need to get started?
- A Microsoft Teams account with permission to install apps
- An account on an external streaming service (e.g., YouTube Live)
- Access to the World VDS Communicator and playlist management
- Installation of the "Custom Streaming" app in Microsoft Teams
The YouTube and URL Display apps are already available in the World VDS app library and ready to use.
Applications
- Remote training sessions streamed to screens in warehouses, factories or retail stores
- Corporate events broadcast live to the entire organisation
- Onboarding sessions or welcome messages for new employees
- Urgent alerts or communications shared instantly
Conclusion
This new feature strengthens the position of World VDS as a comprehensive digital signage platform for internal and institutional communication. The ability to integrate live Microsoft Teams streams opens new opportunities for companies that value speed, efficiency, and cohesion in how they communicate with their teams.
