Connect Google Calendar to show upcoming events, service schedules, room bookings, or any calendar data directly on your screens.

​
Connecting Google Calendar

Google Calendar integration requires an expanded Google OAuth scope (calendar.readonly) beyond what’s needed for file storage. You’ll be asked to authorize this separately.
  1. Click your profile picture → Integrations
  2. Find Google Calendar and click Connect
  3. Sign in with your Google account and grant calendar.readonly access
  4. LightLoop lists all calendars visible to that Google account

​
Creating a calendar display

  1. In the Media library, click Add Calendar
  2. Select Google Calendar
  3. Choose which calendar(s) to include (you can show multiple calendars on one display)
  4. Configure the display:
SettingDescription
TitleLabel shown at the top of the display (e.g., “This Week at First Church”)
Events to showHow many upcoming events to display (1–20)
Date rangeHow far ahead to look (today, this week, 30 days, etc.)
Text sizeSmall, medium, or large — adjust for viewing distance
  1. Save — the calendar item appears in your library
  2. Add it to any playlist

​
Auto-refresh

The calendar display always shows current data. LightLoop re-renders the JPEG image on a regular schedule so upcoming events stay accurate — no manual refresh needed.

​
Display layout

Events are displayed in a clean, readable layout optimized for TV viewing:
  • Event name (large text)
  • Date and time
  • Location (if set in the calendar event)
  • Color coding by calendar (when showing multiple calendars)

​
Use cases

  • Lobby display — Show this week’s services and events as people arrive
  • Hallway — Show room bookings and group meeting times
  • Kidddo check-in area — Show when classes start and end
  • Office screen — Display staff meeting schedule

​
Multiple calendars

You can pull from multiple Google Calendars on one display — for example, your “Services” calendar and your “Events” calendar combined. Each calendar can be a different color in the display.

​
Disconnecting

  1. Click your profile picture → Integrations
  2. Click Disconnect next to Google Calendar
Existing calendar display items will stop updating after disconnection. They’ll show the last rendered image until reconnected or deleted.
