Introduction
The Web Player offers a useful option for clients who want a solution that requires almost no setup. Think of the Web Player as a way to get digital signage on your screens. Specifically, if a device, such as a tablet or PC, has a Chrome-based web browser, including Chrome, Chromium, and Edge, then the Web Player can turn it into a powered digital signage screen. Since no hardware or cables are involved, they must copy the registration number on the screen and paste it into the Portal.
Setting up a Web player
First, you must access the URL below from your Smart TV, PC, or browser to download the Chrome extension.
