The dashboard is the web app at login.screenlyapp.com. It runs in a browser and needs nothing installed.
It is the only place most people ever touch. Your screens are managed from here whether they run ScreenlyOS on a Screenly player, or Screenly Anywhere on an Android box, a smart display, or a browser. The devices differ; the dashboard does not.
The navigation
| Home | Where you land. Fleet status at a glance, quick actions for the four things you do most, and product news |
| Screens | Your fleet, their health, their settings, and their labels |
| Playlists | The rotations, each with its own content, schedule, and screens |
| Content | Everything uploaded or added: images, video, audio, PDFs, web pages, streams |
| Apps | Your configured app instances, and the App store you install them from |
| Settings | The workspace: members, integrations, notifications, security, linked workspaces |
| Help Center | Support, in a new tab |
Billing sits apart from that list and is visible only to Owners and Billing Managers.
The four quick actions on Home are add a screen, create a playlist, upload content, and install an app, which is a fair summary of what the dashboard is for.
What is not done here
Setting up a device belongs to the device. Getting hardware or a platform running, and diagnosing one that will not connect, is covered by ScreenlyOS, Screenly Anywhere, or Screenly players. Once a screen is paired it is managed from here like any other.
Anything scripted happens elsewhere too. The dashboard is one client of the Screenly API with no special access, and everything here is available from the API, the CLI, and the MCP server, which is what Developers covers.
Who can see what
Everyone in a workspace sees all of its screens, content, and playlists; roles decide who can change people and who can see billing. Roles and permissions has the detail, including why “some people must not see some screens” means a separate workspace.
Signing in, and the lobby
There is no password. You sign in with a one-time email code, a passkey, a Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account, or your own identity provider over SAML. See Signing in.
If your account belongs to more than one workspace, or you have an invitation waiting, you land on a workspace picker rather than straight in a workspace. It asks you to pick one to continue, and has a second tab for pending invitations where you accept or decline each one. You can also create a new workspace from there.
With exactly one workspace and nothing pending, you skip it entirely, which is why most people never see it.
