Auto Rotate Tabs in Chrome
Auto rotating Chrome tabs lets one screen cycle through dashboards, reports, and websites on a timer.
Tab Rotator is a Chrome extension built for that workflow-especially on office TVs and always-on monitors.

3. Set the interval and start

Why teams use auto rotation
- One TV can show more than one system of record.
- No one has to stand at the keyboard switching tabs.
- Refresh options help pages stay usable across a long day.
Auto rotate vs manual switching
Manual tab switching fails the moment someone walks away from the keyboard. Auto rotate keeps a shared TV useful during standups and open-floor viewing.
Pair rotation with refresh when pages go stale, and with OS power settings when the machine sleeps overnight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is auto tab rotation free?
Tab Rotator has a free plan with limits, plus optional Premium for higher-volume and unattended features. Check the product page for current limits.
Does it work in the background?
Rotation runs as a Chrome extension workflow. Keep Chrome open on the display computer and test behavior with your specific pages.
What interval should I use?
Start at 30–60 seconds for simple status pages and longer for dense charts. Watch one full cycle from the real viewing distance.
Can I rotate only some tabs?
Yes. Select the tabs or playlist URLs you want in the rotation and leave personal tabs out of the set.
