- Follow the instructions to sync your TelemetryTV account with your Google CDM account.
- Once synced, your organization structure from Google CDM will be reflected in TelemetryTV.
Why use organizations?
- Organize devices: Grouping devices using organizations allows you to structure them based on your own taxonomy (e.g., location, building, business unit), making display and content management easier.
- Faster playlist distribution: Filter devices by organizations in the device management interface and apply playlists to batches of devices using shortcut keys (e.g., command + shift for series of devices or command + ctrl for selection of devices).

- Permissions control: Toggle permissions in the user groups interface to restrict access to specific device organizations for user groups.
