Campus Digital Signage

Sign In

Appspace is the enterprise digital signage solution for SMU. The Appspace console is used to manage content on the various digital displays around campus. Each digital display is connected to a playback device — either a PC or a dedicated media player, such as a BrightSign (recommended).

Individuals with access to the Appspace system can upload content via the cloud.appspace.com website and create a sign playlist channel for their managed device. This channel can be configured to cycle through a series of dynamic and static content – all of which can easily be updated via the web.

Getting Started

  1. Click the Sign In button above.
  2. Enter your SMU email address.
    When logging in to Appspace Cloud, please use the email address for the account to which you received the invite; In most cases this will be your @mail.smu.edu email address.
  3. Enter your Appspace password.
    The password will be the password you set when creating your account.
  4. From the Dashboard, select the Network you would like to access, if needed. 
  5. Select the channel or device you want and access and add content as needed. 

Requesting Access

Unfortunately, users cannot self-request permissions. The Director for Marketing, or similar role, in the school or area, may request access to Appspace for the employee needing editing abilities on Appspace via STABLE or by sending a email request to help@smu.edu. Please include the employee's email address and the Appspace Network or Channel, depending on the level of access needed.

Accept Invitation buttonOnce added to the service, the end user is sent an invitation directly from Appspace to grant them access. The new user will need to click on the unique link in the email to create and activate their account. 

Requesting New Digital Signage

Departments interested in joining existing digital signage displays or adding new displays to Appspace will need to submit the form located in STABLE. OIT has purchased a site license for the Appspace. Departments are responsible for the cost of the display, the device or media player, and any incurred expenses for mounting the signage.

Please Note: It is recommended that departments do not purchase devices or equipment from outside vendors. Devices must meet the requirements set by OIT and Appspace and cannot be responsible for the support and performance of the service with equipment not obtained by OIT.
