Yodeck Reviews & Product Details

Since my last review, I've trained a few more people on our team to use Yodeck, and that's honestly been the best test of it. New users pick it up fast. The UI and playlists are intuitive enough that I don't have to stand over anyone's shoulder walking them through every step. It's reliable, looks great in our rooms, and continues to improve.

None, I've seen the quality of Layouts improve (the "Discover Templates" section is filled with really good designs) and other integral features like the scheduler and Apps are all dialed in. Nothing from me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not only is it convenient to be able to update screens remotely from any browser, but the scheduling of content is super helpful. Sometimes we need screens to display content and switch to something else at strict times. This lets us make schedules for switching and updating content, so that we don't manually have to change screens. Allows for planning ahead! Very helpful for a busy Museum.

We had an issue where we couldn't figure out why content was updating on the screens, or saving when trying to push to screens. After a while, we finally figured out that you have to have timezone filled in, in order to upload scheduled content. It wasn't obvious from the start the the timezone field controlled that aspect of the scheduling. It makes since now, but because it was a manual change instead of prompted, it wasn't immediately caught. Maybe if someone is trying to save scheduled content, have a "Required" field popup next to timezone so people realize they can't leave that blank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Yodeck for a couple years now with the Raspberry Pi based Yodeck player. I have had absolutely ZERO issues (aside from the custodian accidentally unplugging it once or twice). I use the hardware to drive a cheap monitor mounted in the entrance hall of a church. Using the software from home, I update the graphics weekly - to show what's happening in the church. I also change out the playlist to a video based slideshow for funerals or special events. My favorite feature is the scheduling. I can add an end date to a graphic, put it in the playlist, and at the appropriate time and date it just drops out of the rotation.

I cannot stress enough how this just works, and works correctly. I have not had to change settings, tweak connections, worry about downtime, or make any adjustments at all. It just keeps doing what it does, and I like it that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still cannot think of a single thing to improve or change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Yodeck is how easy it is to get started. The dashboard is clean, intuitive, and makes it simple to manage screens, playlists, schedules, and media without a steep learning curve. I also appreciate how versatile the platform is—it supports many content types and works well for different digital signage needs. Another big advantage is Yodeck's support for nonprofits. Their NPO program makes a professional digital signage solution accessible to organizations with limited budgets, which has been very valuable for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a live preview feature that shows exactly what is currently being displayed on each screen. A screenshot refreshed every few seconds would be enough. This would make it much easier to confirm that the correct content is playing without physically checking the display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, with a seamless integration across Google products, plus ready-to-go, plug-and-play hardware that works right out of the box. The user interface is easy to manage, and the online tutorials are helpful and to the point. Pricing is very affordable, and the included free player makes the subscription very appealing.

Sometimes, when I’m setting up more complicated layouts, the 1GB RAM player just isn’t enough. I’d like to have more options for apps and layouts that run better on the 1GB player. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been a very good experience, as we are using it for different companies we work with. We chose Yodeck because it is easy to use and manage, and its interface is very user-friendly. Thanks to this, we can be at ease: if we pass content management to the users, they will be able to do it without any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Yodeck is the limited editing functionality in its built-in content editor. For instance, it doesn’t let me trim embedded videos, overlay text directly on top of them, or create masks for more customized layouts.

That feels like a noticeable contrast to Xibo’s interface, which is more flexible in these areas. With Xibo, I can adjust video duration, place text over videos, and create masks, which makes it easier to work with content in a more creative way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very helpful for managing and sharing as many TV screens as needed. Even non-IT experts can easily deploy a new dashboard. Top feature: Yodek is suitable for any OS and device available on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. It works really well, and everything is super easy to manage. One thing I’d like to see, though, is Yodek offering a hardware stand or mounting support for laptops or a MiniPC, so you can hide them behind the screen. That’s more of a future feature to consider, but it would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use and doesn't break easily. The drag 'n' drop style layout creation is quick, and the ability to include a mixture of layouts and videos in a playlist makes for some interesting visual content - plus, I like being able to make videos in Canva and uploading them to Yodeck for added visual effects. Setting Yodeck up on multiple screens with a FireTV stick is really simple too, and I appreciate the reasonable cost of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside at the moment isn't necessarily Yodeck's fault, but I use a FireTV stick to display the Yodeck content on various screens, and across all of them, it periodically closes the app and defaults back to the Amazon homescreen, thus requiring the app to be reloaded. Likely an issue with the hardware though, not Yodeck's software. I do also think the LAyout builder could be enhanced with more basic features, like being able to rotate objects.

I like how easy Yodeck is to navigate and use to display my products. It lets me show my menu boards to customers with ease. I value being able to integrate apps I use as well and elevate my work. I liked the features and offerings I saw in the ad. Setup was too easy—I didn’t think it could be so quick and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not too sure Yodeck does a great job of catering to all my current needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Yodeck is its flexibility and ease of management. It makes it very simple to manage a pool of screens from a central platform, deploy content quickly, and keep everything organised. Whether you have a few displays or many, the solution scales well and gives you a lot of control without adding complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback we experienced was with the Raspberry Pi player. Its user agent is quite basic, which caused some compatibility issues in our environment. As a result, certain content did not behave as expected. However, we did not encounter these problems with the Windows player, which has been very reliable and performed extremely well.
