Environment

This article applies to Bowdoin faculty and staff who have a Carousel publishing account. Bowdoin's Carousel Cloud site is bowdoin.carouselsignage.net, and sign-in uses Bowdoin single sign-on (Okta).

Important: You need a Carousel publishing account before you can sign in. If you do not have one, see the Request Access to Carousel Digital Signage article in the Related Articles section.

Resolution

  1. In a web browser, go to bowdoin.carouselsignage.net.
  2. When prompted, sign in with Bowdoin single sign-on (Okta) using your Bowdoin email address and password.
  3. Complete the Okta verification prompt if you are asked for it.
  4. After signing in, Carousel opens to the channels and zones your account has permission to manage.
Note: If you sign in successfully but do not see the display you expect, your account may not yet have permission for that zone. Request access to the specific zone through the Request Access to Carousel Digital Signage article in the Related Articles section.
