Show your Google Calendar on a meeting room door, in reception or on an office TV. Private calendars via OAuth, no public share link needed. Auto-refresh every 15 minutes. Works on TV, kiosk, Android stick. Start free for 3 screens.
Updated
No separate Google Workspace app, no public ICS link.
Click "Connect with Google", sign in, and grant Gibeon read access to the calendars you explicitly select. Private calendars work — no need to share your agenda publicly. OAuth respects your Workspace policies.
Three ready-to-go templates: meeting room door (current meeting + next free), office agenda (upcoming appointments in list), reception (today's visitors + welcome). Or build your own layout.
Drag the item onto a screen. Every 15 minutes the screen pulls fresh calendar data. A meeting added or cancelled at 2:03 PM appears by 2:18 PM at the latest. If internet drops, the last agenda stays visible.
Meeting rooms get booked and not used. Research estimates 30-40% of booked room capacity is "ghost booking" — someone booked, did not show, room sits empty. Meanwhile someone else walks around looking for a free room. The problem is visibility: nobody knows what is free without opening their Outlook or Calendar.
A screen next to the door solves this. Busy or free, who has it, until when, when is the next free slot. Everyone sees it when walking by, without an app or badge.
Yodeck and OptiSigns offer this already — ScreenCloud too. What none of them offers: NL/FR/DE flow, custom template engine, and free for 3 screens. On www.gibeon.io you get it in your language for half the price.
Or build your own layout with our template engine.
Room name big at the top, status (Busy/Free) with green/red, current meeting with title and attendees, next meeting, "free for X minutes" countdown. 7-inch tablet or full-size TV — both supported.
Today's and tomorrow's upcoming appointments in a list, with time, title, room. For team stand-ups, executive floor, or reception. Optionally hide private info (show only "Busy", no title).
Visitors expected today (from a separate resource calendar), welcome message, opening hours, WiFi info, contact number. For lobby screens where visitors arrive.
All meeting rooms at once in a grid: Room A (busy until 11:00), Room B (free), Room C (busy until 14:30). For a central screen in the hallway or facility management dashboard.
Today's program from a shared Google Calendar. For conference venues, training centers, churches that want their weekly program on the wall.
Our template engine lets you place fields freely, pick fonts and colors, add branding. For unique setups that do not fit a standard template.

Yodeck, OptiSigns, ScreenCloud and Screenly have ranked on "Google Calendar digital signage" queries in English for years. Four things none of them offers: NL/FR/DE flow including helpcenter, a free tier for 3 screens without watermark worries, a custom template engine that lets you shape your meeting room door or reception screen, and an MCP server so you can manage your calendar displays via Claude or Cursor.
The ghost booking pain — 30-40% of booked room capacity not used — is universal. We solve it with the same tech as Yodeck, but in your language, for half the price.
Yes. You sign in with your Google account and grant Gibeon read access to the calendars you explicitly select. No need to share your calendar publicly or generate an ICS link — OAuth is enough.
Every 15 minutes. A meeting added at 09:03 appears by 09:18 at the latest. For real-time meeting room signage where every minute counts: Pro tier supports 5-minute sync.
Yes. An agenda template can combine up to 5 calendars (e.g. team agenda + lunchroom booking + conference room). Inherit colors per calendar from Google.
By default we show what the calendar owner marks as "public". Private events (yellow lock in Google) show as "Busy" without title or attendees. Per template you can choose to hide all titles.
The screen keeps showing the last fetched agenda for 24-72 hours. A "connection restored" badge disappears once it is back live. No blank screens, no "loading" messages.
Resource calendars are regular calendars in Google Workspace. Select them during setup. A meeting room template within Gibeon maps directly to one resource calendar.
Yes. Our meeting room template is optimized for both 7-inch tablets and full-size TVs. The drag-drop layout builder adapts to both.
Not yet — we are passive signage, not an interactive booking flow. For "tap to book" on the meeting room door, the screen connects directly to Google Calendar via a tablet touchscreen, but booking happens in Google's own UI. Tap-to-book as native Gibeon feature is on the roadmap for Q3 2026.
No. Works on any TV with Chromecast or Apple TV, on Android sticks, on kiosk tablets, and just in a browser. Want a complete solution? Our Gibeon Player runs on Android and is delivered by AV partners with installation.
Workspace pricing, not per screen. Free up to 3 screens (small watermark). Starter €39/month up to 5 screens no watermark. Pro €99/month for 10 screens + audit log. Business €198/month for 10 workspaces.
Yes. All tiers, including free, have REST and an MCP server for AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf). Manage your calendar displays via prompt or via code. Open source under MIT. See the developer quickstart at /dev.
