How do I use Instagram in Mvix CMS?

Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social networking platform that allows you to connect with family and friends just like Facebook. With the Instagram feature available on Mvix CMS, you can choose a theme and display images from your Instagram platform on your digital signage device.

Currently, there are an estimated 1.440 billion users on Instagram and an estimated 500 million daily active users access the app globally. In short, everyone uses social media and engages with it daily. Entice your audience more by including your social media on your signage so they can engage with fun posts from your feed and stay connected with your brand.

Mvix CMS allows for different zone allocations. By putting your feed in a smaller zone, you can easily enhance your display with an auto-updating feed at your selected date range. With multiple themes to choose from, you can customize your feed to best fit the digital signage layout that you prefer.
