# What you need


> The devices Screenly Anywhere runs on, the network access it needs, and the workspace to pair it with.
Screenly Anywhere asks for very little: a device that can display a web page, an internet connection, and a Screenly account.

## A supported device

Anywhere runs on any of these.

> [!TIP]
> Not sure whether your display has a computer built in? If it runs apps of its own, it does, and Anywhere can probably install directly on it with nothing to plug in.

| Device | How it runs |
|---|---|
| Any modern browser | Open a page. Nothing to install |
| Android and Android TV | An app from the Google Play Store |
| Amazon Fire TV | An app from the Amazon Appstore |
| Samsung business displays (Tizen) | An app installed on the display itself |
| LG consumer TVs (webOS) | The browser built into the display |
| Amazon Signage Stick | Paired through the Amazon Signage console |
| ChromeOS Flex | A managed kiosk app, for IT-managed fleets |
| Windows | A browser, in kiosk mode |

If a device can open a current browser and stay awake, it can almost certainly run Anywhere.

> [!NOTE]
> The two LG and Samsung rows are not equivalent. On Samsung we support the commercial display range rather than consumer televisions. On LG it is currently the other way round: consumer TVs work through the built-in browser, and support for LG's commercial range is on our roadmap.

## An internet connection

The device needs normal outbound internet access, the same as a phone or a computer. It only ever connects out to us, so there is nothing to open up or forward on your network.

Two things to avoid, because a screen cannot work around either:

- A guest network with a sign-in page. A screen cannot click through a "click here to accept" page.
- A device set to sleep or power off on a timer. Check the device's own power settings before you mount it.

<summary>Network details for your IT team</summary>

Outbound HTTPS on port 443 for content and API traffic, and a WebSocket connection on the same port for live updates. No inbound ports, no static IP, and no public address.

If your network uses an allowlist rather than open outbound access, [contact support](https://support.screenly.io/) for the current list of hostnames to permit.

## A Screenly account

[Signing up](https://login.screenlyapp.com/sign-up) takes an email address and starts a free trial with no card required. You need an account before pairing, because a screen joins a specific workspace.
