Office Spinner for Chrome: Automatic Tab Rotation for Teams
What it does
- Automatically cycles through Chrome tabs on a configurable interval so shared screens or meeting displays show each tab without manual switching.
- Intended for team use cases: monitoring dashboards, rotating meeting materials, shared displays in conference rooms.
Key features
- Configurable interval: set rotation time (seconds to minutes).
- Window-scoped rotation: rotates tabs only in the current window.
- Auto-adapt: handles tabs opened/closed during rotation.
- Start/stop controls: quick toolbar button to begin or pause rotation.
- Lightweight: low resource usage; settings stored locally.
Typical use cases
- Team war rooms monitoring multiple dashboards.
- Conference-room displays that cycle through status pages or slides.
- Digital signage or info screens in offices.
- Presentations where several web pages should be shown in sequence.
Installation & setup (typical)
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- Click the extension icon, set the rotation interval, choose options (if available).
- Click Start Rotation; stop when finished.
Privacy & permissions
- Usually requires minimal permissions like Storage and Alarms; settings are stored locally.
- Many tab-rotation extensions declare no data collection.
Limitations & tips
- Pages requiring active authentication may time out; use site keep-alives or longer intervals.
- Fullscreen/kiosk setups may need Chrome kiosk mode or an option in the extension to start in fullscreen.
- If a page fails to load, some extensions retry or temporarily skip it.
- Confirm the extension supports file:// if you need local files.
