Tableau visualisations everywhere.
Bring your Tableau dashboards and data stories to digital signage screens with live data refresh and full visual fidelity.
Tableau Meets Digital Signage
Embed Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud visualisations directly into your Hangar.Media content playlists. Dashboards render at full resolution with automatic refresh cycles, bringing your most important analytics out of laptops and onto the screens where teams can see them. Support for trusted authentication means your data stays protected.
What you can do with everywhere.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
Secure Embedding Without Passwords
Hangar.Media uses Tableau trusted authentication to embed views without exposing credentials. The player requests a trusted ticket from your Tableau Server, which grants temporary access to render the dashboard securely on screen.
No passwords on screen, no credentials at risk.
Trusted ticket authentication
No stored credentials on player devices
Compatible with Tableau Server and Cloud
Multi-View Dashboard Rotation
Automatically cycle through multiple tabs within a Tableau workbook or rotate between separate dashboards. Set dwell times per view so complex visualisations get more screen time while summary views rotate quickly.
Every insight gets its moment on screen.

Common questions. Straight answers.
Does this work with both Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud?
Yes. Hangar.Media supports both Tableau Server on-premises deployments and Tableau Cloud. The authentication method differs slightly, but both are fully supported through the integration setup wizard.
Can I filter the Tableau dashboard for specific screen locations?
Yes. You can append URL filter parameters to your Tableau embed URL so each screen location shows filtered data relevant to its audience. For example, a regional office screen can filter to show only that region.
What happens if my Tableau Server goes offline?
Hangar.Media caches the last successfully rendered view. If your Tableau Server becomes temporarily unavailable, the screen continues to show the most recent dashboard snapshot until connectivity is restored.
Can I mix Tableau dashboards with other content types?
Absolutely. Tableau dashboards can be added to any Hangar.Media playlist alongside videos, images, web pages, and other integration content. You can set individual durations for each content item in the rotation.
