  • Request from zonal IT services that the laptop has a generic UoB user account installed on it so as not to synchronise anyone's personal email etc.
  • On the desktop create an .html file like the one below to reflect the refresh rate of the content (currently set to 60 seconds)
  • Replace the text within the iframe tag with the embed code when you Publish the ECOUTER mindmap read-only.
<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">

  • Once the computer is connected to the TV screen ensure that hibernate, sleep and auto lock modes are switched off.
  • Open up the html file - it will open in a web browser. Check that it refreshes at the interval you have set.

Instead of using the auto-refresh code outlined above, you can open the link to your published mindmap in a web browser and manually refresh it periodically using Ctrl +R
