ScreenCloud Post

Please note, if you are using the older version of ScreenCloud (signage.screencloud.com) you can download the alternative Follow Us guide here.

The ScreenCloud Follow Us app makes it easy to share all of your social media accounts and contact details to your digital screens. This helps customers and fans to stay in touch with your brand more easily and helps you to increase your online following.

With the ScreenCloud Follow Us app you can:

  • Easily share all of your social media handles
  • Allow customers to follow you via scanning a QR code
  • Share your contact details to your digital screen

Here’s how it works:

1. Select and install ScreenCloud’s Follow Us app

1.1. Get started by logging into your ScreenCloud account here and choosing the ScreenCloud App Store from the left-hand menu.

2.2. Copy and paste the name of any social media profiles you’d like to show, along with any contact details you’d like to add-in. For example, if your Facebook URL is https://www.facebook.com/ScreenCloudio/ you can copy and paste “ScreenCloudio” into the Facebook line. For Instagram where you handle is @screencloud you would put “screencloud” in and so on. You do not need to include the “@” for a handle or the full URL as the app will edit these for you.
