Best way to display dashboards (Power BI, Stripe, etc.) on shared screens without logging in everywhere?

Hey folks,

I’m trying to figure out a practical way to share dashboards across a team without a lot of friction.

We use a mix of tools (Power BI, Stripe, internal analytics, etc.), and I often want to display them on shared screens or let teammates view them. The problem is:

Not everything has easy sharing links
Logging into multiple machines/screens isn’t practical
Some dashboards require auth, so public links aren’t an option

Do you guys rotate dashboards on shared screens in your orgs?
If yes, how are you handling access/auth without logging in everywhere?

Curious what setups or tools people are using.

Not sure if this is solution/answer you're looking for but for some of my clients, who have a similar setup (Multiple Stripes + Power BI). We've got them setup with Definite using connectors. So far it's running really well, though not sure if the price point makes sense if you're a smaller business. hope it helps

We ran into the same problem with dashboards (Power BI, Stripe, internal tools) needing auth. Tab Revolver turned out to be super handy , you just log in once on your laptop, set your tabs to rotate, and you can add other screens that mirror the same rotation without having to log in on each one. Pretty seamless and saves a ton of hassle.

for the auth issue, a lot of teams use a dedicated kiosk account that stays logged in on those screens. youd set up a browser profile with saved sessions for each tool. some folks use dashboard rotation software like Geckoboard or ScreenCloud to cycle through tabs automatically.

if your underlying data is scattered across systems, Scaylor can help consolidate things before they even hit the dashboards

Publish the dashboard to a web server with for 5 second refresh.
1 publisher, any viewers.

Poor mans solution.
