Devices

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

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

Activate a device

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

The device starts showing your content within a few seconds.

Tip Name devices after where they hang, like “Reception” or “Kitchen”, so everyone knows which 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 device switches over at its next slide.

Check that your devices are online

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

You don’t need to keep checking. When a device 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 device goes back to showing a code, so you can activate it again later.

FAQ

The code changed before I entered it

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

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

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

A device shows that our subscription has expired

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