Welcome to the 7th edition of Screenly Sync, where we share the latest product and community updates from Screenly.

June has been a big month for partnerships and platform security. We added support for two major new hardware partners, shipped a stack of enterprise networking and authentication features, launched a free app library that anyone can use, and added a new integration to the App Store. Here is everything that happened.

Product updates

Screenly Anywhere now supports Crestron AirMedia

Screenly and Crestron are now official partners, bringing Screenly Anywhere to Crestron AirMedia devices, so conference room screens can double as managed digital signage between meetings, from the same dashboard as every other Screenly device. Crestron customers get a free 90-day trial, no credit card required.

Crestron customers can try Screenly Anywhere on their AirMedia® devices free for 90 days, no credit card required.

Screenly is now a certified CMS provider for the Amazon Signage Stick

Screenly is now a certified content management provider for the affordable Amazon Signage Stick, so you can manage it alongside Screenly Players from one dashboard with consistent security. Dedicated Screenly Players remain the right choice where accountability for the hardware itself matters most, but for many organizations the two work well together.

ScreenlyOS 26.6.0: What’s new

This release focuses on screen control and audio reliability. Highlights include:

• Custom resolution and rotation per screen, with settings that follow the screen even if it moves to a different port or player
• Seamless audio output switching between HDMI and the headphone jack, with changes taking effect immediately
• Improved 3.5mm audio output on Player Max, giving users full control over audio routing
• Accurate wired connection status on the setup screen, so it correctly reflects whether Ethernet is actually connected
• A clearer “Wireless Wizard” label replacing the old F2 shortcut, for easier first-time setup

As always, these updates roll out automatically.

Connect Screenly players to 802.1x networks

Screenly players can now connect to 802.1x authenticated Wi-Fi or wired networks, including static IP setups, directly from the on-screen wizard, removing a common blocker in enterprise, healthcare, education, and manufacturing environments.

Serve mTLS protected web assets on Screenly Player

Screenly players can now present a device certificate when loading web assets, so your server can verify a request comes from an authorized device. Trust certificates individually, via the Screenly CA, or both, and pair with Tailscale for private network access plus device-level identity.

Sign into Screenly with a passkey

Screenly now supports passkeys, so you can sign in with your device’s biometrics, PIN, or a hardware key, no password or one-time code required. Set one up from Account Settings > Security > Passkeys.

App updates: Airtable Dashboard

Screenly’s Apps now include an Airtable Dashboard integration, so you can display Airtable data directly on your screens, the same way our Salesforce, Power BI, and Grafana integrations work.

Generate ScreenlyOS network configs without logging in

We rebuilt our network configuration tool and moved it to the public site, so anyone can generate a network.yaml file for a Screenly Player or DIY Raspberry Pi player, no login required. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is ever transmitted to us.

Community updates

We launched a free digital signage app library

We launched signage-apps.com, a free library of 30 signage apps, open to anyone on any player or CMS that can show web content. It grew out of two small apps quietly serving millions of requests, built through Screenly Labs with no accounts or SLAs attached.

That’s all for now

That wraps up this edition of Screenly Sync. June brought new hardware partnerships with Crestron and Amazon, a free app library for the whole community, a new Airtable Dashboard app, and a steady stream of enterprise networking and authentication features. There is more in the pipeline, and we will share it as it ships.
