Digital Signage for Elevators

Digital signage for elevators refers to commercial-grade screens installed inside elevator cabs, elevator lobbies, or near call buttons to display content to riders and passersby. These displays can show tenant announcements, paid advertisements, emergency alerts, property branding, news feeds, weather updates, and more. They are typically managed remotely through a cloud-based content management system (CMS).

Elevator digital signage can display virtually any type of visual content, including videos, images, animated graphics, social media feeds, news tickers, weather updates, event announcements, wayfinding maps, emergency alerts, and paid advertisements. With our Sho CMS, you can also pull in live content from Canva, Google Sheets, PosterMyWall, YouTube, and other connected apps to keep your displays fresh.

Our Sho CMS lets you manage all your elevator screens from one centralized dashboard, regardless of how many floors or buildings you operate. You can push the same content to every screen simultaneously, or customize messaging by floor, zone, or property. This makes it especially efficient for property management companies, REITs, and corporate campuses managing large screen networks.

Yes, we integrate with industry-standard emergency alert platforms using Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) compatibility. When an emergency alert is triggered, your elevator and lobby screens automatically override standard content to display evacuation instructions, shelter-in-place notices, or all-clear messages. This turns your digital signage network into an active part of your building's safety infrastructure.

The right hardware depends on your installation environment. For elevator cab interiors, compact portrait-orientation displays are most common. For elevator lobbies and waiting areas, larger displays or interactive touchscreen kiosks like the Way work well. If you already have screens installed, the Zen Stick media player can connect them to the Sho platform instantly. Our team provides personalized hardware recommendations based on your building layout, traffic volume, and content goals.
