4. Choose the Advanced tab under the inegrated calenders configuration. Hereunder turn on Public on "*".
This mean that you need to put a "*" before the meeting subject, to have the meeting shown on a SignageView.
If there is no "*" before the meeting subject, the meeting will not be marked as public, and will not be shown on the SignageView
A example could be: You head your own calender and in the subject field, you write: "*Meeting with Mark". That would be a public meeting.
When done press Save & Close in the top right corner.
