Quick start guide to digital signage on Firestick (FireTV)
It’s super easy to create a digital sign using a FireTV stick and any screen, so let’s get started!
If you have an Amazon Signage Stick please see https://www.ablesign.tv/digital-signage/how-to-setup-an-amazon-signage-stick/
Download the AbleSign App
Please check compatibility if you have an older Fire stick (AbleSign requires FireOS 6 or later).
Head to the App Store on your Firestick and search for AbleSign (all one word).
Start the app and it will display a pairing code.
Pair the screen
Visit app.ablesign.tv to create a free AbleSign account if you don’t have one already.
Login and then click on Screens / Add Screen and enter the pairing code displayed on your screen.
Next, enter a name for the screen.
Create your playlist
This is where the fun starts. We are now ready to create a playlist and have the digital signage screen display it. Your AbleSign account includes some demo videos and images to help you get started, so let’s use those.
Drag the waterfall video from the right to your playlist on the left.
Click on SAVE CHANGES. Your screen will download the video from your playlist and then start displaying it.
If you wish to have the AbleSign app start automatically when your FireTV starts, press the menu button on your remote and select the option.
More details on autostart can be found here.
After 4 hours your FireTV may display a message asking if you are still watching? You can disable this feature in the Fire TV settings.
