Android Digital Signage: Using Android TV & Fire TV for Signage

Android is the most popular platform for digital signage, and for good reason: the hardware is cheap, everywhere, and powerful enough to play video smoothly. Here's how to use it.

What Android devices work?

• Android TV sets (built-in)
• Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV devices
• Android TV boxes and HDMI dongles
• Most Android media players

Why Android for signage?

You avoid expensive proprietary players and can buy replacements anywhere. A sub-$50 stick handles full-screen video and multi-zone layouts. And because it's the device you might already own, you can start today.

How to set it up

Install the SignageX player app on the Android device, open it, and it shows a pairing code. Enter that code in your SignageX dashboard, and your content plays. The app self-updates and keeps playing offline if the connection drops.
