NOTE

You will need the embeddable URL of your document to be able to use it in our system.
Otherwise it will not work due to cors-policy issues. 

If you have a URL like:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR6jTPScvnRhgrSv9q/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000&slide=id.p

You need to change it to:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR6jTPScvnRhgrSv9q/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000&slide=id.p

STEP 1

In Google Drive, obtain a shared URL for your document by opening the document, select File > Publish to the Web.

STEP 2

Select the Embed tab, then copy the URL.

STEP 3

In Wallboard, on the left pan, select the Custom button.

STEP 4

On the right pan, select the Widget tab, change the Content Type to URL, then paste the shared URL in the URL field.

Example:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTHb75CliYAhjj_jlcTMSoUC0ocmZgHWSxT_/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false

You can also enable Interactivity, to make your widget interactive (ability to scroll in the document, change pages in a presentation).

For Google Spreadsheets you can use these query params to perform different actions:

gid={{gid_id}}  :  Display a specific sheet with it’s sheet ID.

gridlines=false / true  :  To display gridlines.

sheetnames=true / false  :  To display sheet names.

Add the query param to the end of the URL after the ?widget=true&headers=false, like: &gridlines=false.

For Microsoft Office files
