With OptiSigns, you connect Salesforce once, pick a dashboard or report and send it to your TVs. The screen never signs in, so it never shows a sign-in page or two-step (MFA) prompt, and it updates on the schedule you choose. That fixes a 2026 problem: since Salesforce made MFA mandatory for every internal user's browser login, the PC behind the office TV keeps landing on a sign-in page.
Why put Salesforce dashboards on a TV?
Put the target where the whole team can see it. Then watch them chase it.
A quota in a tab is easy to forget. On the wall, it becomes the score the whole floor plays for.
- Everyone sees the goal. Progress to quota stays in view all day, so every rep knows how far the team has left to go.
- Wins get noticed. When a rep closes a big deal or climbs the leaderboard, the whole floor sees it, and that recognition keeps the momentum going.
- Selling time is scarce. The average seller spends 40% of their time selling,1 so a glance at the wall beats stopping to open a report.
Why is it so hard to keep a Salesforce dashboard on a TV?
The dashboard is fine. The always-on TV is the hard part.
Salesforce is built for people at desks, and the usual TV workarounds break on a screen that stays on all day:
- The TV gets signed out. Since mid-2026, Salesforce requires MFA on every internal user's browser login to production, even for automation users, and admins can no longer simply switch it off.2 Each time the session ends, the wall sits on a sign-in page until someone walks over to sign in again.
- The numbers don't refresh. A Salesforce dashboard refreshes when someone clicks, and clicks less than a minute apart are ignored.3 With nobody clicking, the TV shows this morning's numbers all afternoon.
- The old workarounds are gone. The "Salesforce Dashboards on TV" extension no longer appears in the Chrome Web Store (checked November 2026). The remaining extensions built on Chrome's older format left the store on August 31, 2026.4 What's left needs scripts and MFA workarounds that security teams rarely sign off on.
- Each TV needs a login. A browser on the wall has to sign in as a regular licensed Salesforce user. So each TV needs a spare PC, a licensed login and someone to look after both.
How OptiSigns solves each of these problems
Connect once in the portal. No sign-ins, clicks or spare PCs at the TV after that.

One connection, every screen
One Salesforce connection in the portal feeds every TV in the team, each with its own dashboard or report.
1. The screen never signs in
You connect Salesforce once in the OptiSigns portal, and the TV only gets the finished dashboard. The admin signs in there as a regular licensed Salesforce user, so MFA happens in the portal, never on the TV.
After that, OptiSigns' servers read your data through Salesforce's API. The screen gets only the charts or Salesforce's own picture of the dashboard: never a password, a sign-in page or an MFA prompt. The Help Center guide covers the setup.
Security sets the limits. The screen shows only what the connected Salesforce user can see, so your security team can choose a user who sees only what the room may see.
2. It refreshes on its own
OptiSigns fetches new numbers on a schedule you set, from every 5 minutes to every 12 hours.
Reports run fresh at every update. For dashboards, OptiSigns asks Salesforce to recalculate at each update, so the new numbers appear at the next one.
Dashboards can trail one update. A shorter interval keeps that gap small where freshness matters most, such as every 5 minutes on a sales floor at quarter-end.
3. No extension, no spare PC, no extra license
The OptiSigns player redraws the dashboard from your Salesforce data, with no browser extension, spare PC or extra Salesforce license. It runs on the devices OptiSigns supports, with an internet connection.
Redrawing is the default, and it needs no extra license such as CRM Analytics. Your Salesforce org needs API access.
OptiSigns can also show Salesforce's own picture of the dashboard, with CRM Analytics and some extra Salesforce setup.
4. One connection, every screen
One Salesforce connection in the portal feeds every TV in the team, each with its own dashboard or report. The sixth TV needs no Salesforce user of its own.
In the OptiSigns portal, a dashboard goes into playlists and schedules alongside your other content, so you can manage every dashboard screen in the office from one place.

 Salesforce dashboards | Your dashboard's charts, redrawn from your data |
| Salesforce reports | Your report's results, redrawn from your data |
| Dashboards with CRM Analytics | Salesforce's own picture of the dashboard |

Celebrate every closed deal on the office TVs
A dashboard shows the total. A closed deal deserves its own moment.
When a deal closes, a Salesforce Flow can send it to OptiSigns Designer, and the win shows on the wall shortly after. It arrives through the Inbound Webhook data source in OptiSync, so Zapier, Make or any system that can send a web request works too.
- A line for every win. Each closed deal adds its own row on the screen, which clears after a set time.
- A total that grows. Each update replaces the number, so the screen shows the quarter's total as it climbs.
The Help Center guide to Inbound Webhooks covers how it works.
