I’m trying to find a good solution for displaying Google Slides presentations on TV screens at our nonprofit. It should be something simple, that is easy to maintain, as the presentations change daily. Any ideas where I should start looking?

    That’s great actually.

    Then I would suggest using used thin clients. They cost around 50€ each, maybe less. You can install a Linux on there and remotely manage them then. They are quiet, small, not energy intensive and mostly have an x86_64 CPU, so software is also not an issue.

    They also mostly have HDMI so connecting is not an issue either. If you still buy a Bluetooth remote, they can be handled without a mouse.

    Software wise I am not well versed with google slides, but you can probably use kiosk mode in Firefox or chrome and just have the main page with the slides as chosen website.
