Benefits of Narrowcasting
Narrowcasting helps make communication more visible on the work floor.
Some key benefits:
Greater reach – information is visible to employees who open the app less frequently.
Fast communication – important updates are immediately visible on screens.
Support on location – ideal for screens in canteens, staff areas, or entrances.
Repetition of important information – messages remain visible and attract more attention.

an API
These details can be used by the IT department to make Oneteam content available on screens within the organization.
Choosing which messages to show
When you create or edit a narrowcasting feed, you decide which content appears on the screen, so you only show what's relevant for that location or screen. You can set:
A name for the feed, so you can tell multiple feeds apart.
The communities whose messages you want to show.
The organization groups whose messages you want to show.
Whether organization messages are included or not.
Whether to show only important messages.
Based on these settings, the feed determines which messages appear on the screen.
