From an empty TV to a live screen in three minutes
No media player, no cables, no consultants. Here is exactly what happens.
- 1
Install the player
Install the free PlainSignage APK on an Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV Stick or Android tablet — or open console.plainsignage.com/play in any browser. A 6-character pairing code appears on the screen.
- 2
Pair the screen
In the console, click Add screen and type the code. The device is now yours: it reports its model, resolution and orientation, and the editor previews at exactly that aspect ratio.
- 3
Design
Start from a template or a blank canvas. Drag widgets — menu, clock, weather, news, YouTube, Google Sheet — set brand colours and fonts, and add slides to a playlist.
- 4
Publish
Press Publish and every paired screen updates within a second over a live connection. Offline devices catch up the moment they reconnect.
- 5
Schedule & run
Schedule playlists by day and time, run campaigns with start and end dates, set screen hours so displays sleep at night, and watch fleet health from your phone.
- 6
Grow
Add a screen for €4.99 per month whenever you need one; remove it when you don't. Groups, synced walls and the API scale with you.
Behind the scenes
- Players connect outbound over TLS to the PlainSignage hub in the EU; nothing listens on your network.
- Content is cached on the device — a menu keeps showing when the Wi‑Fi drops.
- Live widgets fetch their data through PlainSignage's proxies with caching, so ten screens do not make ten thousand requests.
- Every publish is versioned; proof-of-play records what played where.
