A desktop ticker tape is a band of text that scrolls across a computer screen, usually placed towards the bottom, much like the ticker tape on screen that you see on news and current affairs TV channels (sometimes called news tickers). The text contains important information delivered in the form of headlines that can also be hyperlinked to further information if necessary.
A powerful yet unintrusive way of broadcasting information
Desktop ticker tape occupies less than 4% of available screen space and does not interfere with other full screen applications - allowing users to carry on with their tasks, paying as much attention to the scrolling headlines as they can afford.
Employees who are busy can simply scan the messages sent to the news ticker software to absorb the content in a way that doesn’t interrupt their work.

Effective for different communication challenges
The desktop news ticker can be used by different departments to send IT updates, company news, article follow-ups, links to documents and intranet pages.
Our desktop ticker software is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as an application installed on mobile devices (but will appear as a push notification)
Easy to send and to measure
You have complete control over who you send specific news headlines to and when you can send them – everything can be automated or scheduled, or you can push scrolling headlines out quickly when you have urgent breaking news, creating a live news ticker.
With delivery and read statistics, you can measure the impact, engagement levels and improve performance.

“I would highly recommend DeskAlerts. Easy to use interface and friendly to install. We use DeskAlerts in-house to broadcast announcements, such as software update alerts. An example would be Quicktime software removal from desktops.”
