# Staff information in the break room

A display in the break room keeps your team informed: news from the management, upcoming dates, the shift plan, and a short line about what's new. Whoever is responsible updates it from the portal, and nobody needs to pin up paper.

> **Type:** guide
> **For:** companies, workshops, care homes, and anyone with a team on site
> **Prerequisite:** an account in the portal. The Notice board and Calendar apps need the Pro package.

## What you need

| What | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| TV | A TV in landscape where people take their breaks |
| Device | A web display in the TV's browser today. A player once it can be ordered. |
| Package | Pro for the Notice board and Calendar apps |
| Apps | Notice board for announcements, Calendar for dates, Scrolling Text for short news |

## How to set it up

1. **Create a scene for announcements** with the Notice board, see [Notice board](/apps/notice-board).
2. **Add your team calendar** in the Calendar app with its ICS address or straight from Outlook or Google Calendar, and show the next dates in a second scene, see [Calendar](/apps/calendar).
3. **Put the shift plan in a scene** as a PDF with the Document widget. Next week, upload the new PDF and swap it in, see [Place a document (PDF) in a scene](/content/place-document).
4. **Combine the scenes in a playlist,** and add a Scrolling Text band for short news along the bottom of one scene.
5. **Assign the playlist** to the display, and plan an off-air time when nobody is on site, see [Schedule off-air time](/programs/schedule-off-air).

## Tips from practice

- **Let the right person edit.** A team lead can get access to exactly one scene, such as the announcements, without seeing anything else, see [Create custom roles and grant direct permissions](/organization/custom-roles).
- **Dates come by themselves.** The Calendar app reads your existing calendar, so nobody types appointments twice.
- **Keep internal data internal.** The display shows only what you put in Szenera. Pages that need a sign-in can't be shown, and that's good for confidential data.
