It is ideal for directories, menus, price lists, and dashboards that need to stay current without re-uploading. This guide walks you through adding Google Sheets in Display NOW Manager, from connecting your spreadsheet to saving it to a playlist. ### Step 1. Display NOW Manager \> Media ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.56.50 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.56.50%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.56.50%20AM.jpg) - From the left sidebar, open **Media**. ### Step 2. Media \> Add New \> Add Media ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.01 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.01%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.01%20AM.jpg) - On the **Media** page, open the **+ Add New** tab to open the **Media App Store**. ### Step 3. Media App Store \> Google Sheets ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.11 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.11%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.11%20AM.jpg) - Locate the **Google Sheets** app (Display a live Google Sheets tab on your screens with zoom control). Click **Add New** to open the setup panel. ### Step 4. Name the media ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 7.26.59 PM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%207.26.59%20PM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%207.26.59%20PM.jpg) - The **Media name** field is pre-filled (for example, Google Sheets - 1). - Edit it to something you'll recognize later, especially if you plan to add more than one sheet. ### Step 5. Connect and select your spreadsheet ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.17 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.17%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.17%20AM.jpg) - Click **Select** Spreadsheet to open the **Sign in** with Google window. ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.31 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.31%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.31%20AM.jpg) - On the sign-in screen, confirm the correct Google account and click **Continue**. ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.36 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.36%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.36%20AM.jpg) - On the permissions screen, review the access and click **Allow.** ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.57.49 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.49%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.57.49%20AM.jpg) - Once linked, the form shows the connected account under Signed in as and the file under Spreadsheet, and the **Preview panel** loads a live view of your sheet. - In the Select a file window, **choose your spreadsheet** (for example, Marketing Plan) and click **Select**. Note: Share the sheet with "**Anyone with the link can view**" so it can display on your screens. Restricted sheets won't load. ### Step 6. Set the page change duration ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.58.10 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.10%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.10%20AM.jpg) - Use the **Page Change Duration (seconds)** slider, or type a value in the box beside it, to control how long each page of the sheet stays on screen before advancing. The default is 10 seconds. ### Step 7. Choose how it plays ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.58.18 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.18%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.18%20AM.jpg) - Under **Streaming type**, select **Playlist** so the Google sheet cycles alongside the other content in your playlist where you add it. (Broadcast pushes the sheet out as a broadcast instead.) ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.58.51 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.51%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.58.51%20AM.jpg) - In the playlist panel, search for and check the **playlist** you want (for example, **sheet**). Then click **Add to Media**. The selected playlist appears under **Streaming type** where you can preview, edit, or remove it, or click Add More to include others. ### Step 8. Confirm visibility and save ![Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 3.59.02 AM](https://help.displaynow.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.59.02%20AM.jpg?width=670&height=367&name=Screenshot%202026-08-04%20at%203.59.02%20AM.jpg) **Group** and **Folder** are optional. Assign them if you organize your media that way. Click **Save**. The Google Sheets media is now in your library, ready to be shown on your screen. Why It Matters? A live Google Sheet turns any screen into a self-updating display for directories, menus, price lists, and dashboards. Set it up once, and every edit to the sheet flows to your screens automatically, with no re-uploading. Need a hand?
