Screenly Docs

Everything about running digital signage with Screenly: the dashboard, the devices, and the API behind both.

Start here

Get started

Sign up, connect a screen you already own, and put something on it, in about fifteen minutes with no card and nothing to buy. Or read what Screenly is first.

The dashboard

Everything you do in the browser, one area at a time.

Screens

Connect screens, set them up, watch their health, and manage a fleet.

Content

What you can put on a screen, how to add it, and how each type behaves.

Playlists

Build a rotation, set durations, and decide what takes over the screen.

Labels

The tag that connects screens to playlists, and how to design a scheme.

Scheduling

Decide when a playlist plays, in every screen's own local time.

Apps

Ready-made, self-updating content: dashboards, calendars, news, and the rest.

Workspaces

People, roles, sharing between workspaces, and workspace settings.

Your account

Signing in, passkeys, your support PIN, and account recovery.

Integrations

Connect Screenly to your data, your alerting, and your private network.

Plans and billing

Plans, licenses, invoices, and changing or cancelling a subscription.

Devices and platforms

What runs on the screen itself, and how to set each kind up.

ScreenlyOS

Our own operating system for signage: what it does, how to get it, networking, and updates.

Screenly Anywhere

Run Screenly on hardware you already own, from a browser to a commercial display.

Screenly players

The hardware we build: the Screenly Player and the Player Max line.

For IT and network teams

What screens and the dashboard need from your network, in one place.

IT requirements

What Screenly asks of your network and your browsers, for the people who run corporate infrastructure rather than the screens.

Developers
