Virtual Screens will no longer be available, effective April 1, 2025. This article will guide you through the transition from Virtual Screens to Screenly Anywhere which enables you to transform any device with a browser into secure digital signage. You can read more about Screenly Anywhere in our press release: Introducing Screenly Anywhere: Your digital signage, your hardware.
Follow these steps:
- Delete the virtual screen in order to free up the screen license. With Screenly Anywhere, each screen consumes one screen license, just like a hardware player. Additionally, note that any playlists and labels currently assigned to your virtual screen will need to be manually reassigned after the new screen is set up.
- Next, open a browser tab on your digital signage device (PC, Smart TV, or Tablet) and log on to anywhere.screenlyapp.com. You should see a PIN code that allows you to pair your device with your Screenly account.
- From your Screenly account, click on the + New button at the top of your screen and select Screen.
- Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and type the PIN code in the text box provided. Give your screen a name and click Add. Select the Screens tab from the left panel and your new screen should now be listed.
- Next, assign your playlist to the screen, and your digital signage screen should come alive with your content.
