Devices

A device is any screen that shows your Displayful content: a smart TV, a TV stick, a tablet or a computer connected to a display. If it has a web browser, it works.

You connect a screen once with a short code. After that you manage it from Devices, and change what it shows without touching the screen again.

Activate a device

1. On the screen, open displayful.co/tv. A code appears.
2. In Displayful, go to Devices and click Activate.
3. Enter the code from the screen, give the device a name like “Reception”, and choose a slideshow or schedule.
4. Click Activate.

The screen starts showing your content within a few seconds.

Tip Name devices after where they hang, like “Reception” or “Kitchen”, so everyone knows which screen is which.

Change what a device shows

1. Go to Devices and click the device.
2. Choose another slideshow or schedule, or change the name.
3. Click Update.

The screen switches over at its next slide.

Check that your screens are online

Devices shows every screen with its status and when it was last seen. A screen counts as offline when it hasn’t been in touch for five minutes.

You don’t need to keep checking. When a screen goes offline, the bell at the top of Displayful lets you know.

Remove a device

Open the menu on the device’s row and click Delete. The screen goes back to showing a code, so you can activate it again later.

FAQ

The code on the screen changed before I entered it

Codes last five minutes, and the screen shows a new one by itself. Enter the code that’s on the screen now.

The screen restarted. Do I need to activate it again?

No. Open displayful.co/tv again and the screen goes straight back to your content.

A screen shows that our subscription has expired

Your trial or subscription has ended, so screens pause your content. Renew from Settings > Billing and they pick up again by themselves. See Billing.
