Welcome to the Digital Signage User Group!


The team at commonvision has created content for screens to share campus wide.


In an effort to provide and reinforce university messaging related to COVID-19 we have created a box folder of animations that we have produced so far:  


https://umbc.box.com/s/x4ovnhsv9yawzjtvf2jvnmxakrtw3dg4


We plan on adding still images in the next week or two to this folder as well if you prefer those.


If you are interested in other pieces we are making for the campus we are adding them to our Vimeo Showcase here:


https://vimeo.com/showcase/5711539


We continually add to this showcase once projects are completed and approved. You need to click on each video in order to watch and download them. We recommend watching the videos to make sure the content is current and appropriate for your area. 


Please let us know if you have any issues or questions.
