Install an app

Pick one from the store, name it, fill in its settings, and it appears under Apps.

Finding one

Open App store in the sidebar. Browse by category, or search.

Every app shows what it displays. Opening one gives you its detail page, with its author, its version, and what it needs from you.

You can also browse the full catalog on our site before signing in.

Installing

1. Open the app and choose Install.
2. Give it a name. This is what you will look for under Apps later, so name it for what it shows rather than what it is: Frankfurt weather beats Weather.
3. Fill in its settings. What you see depends on the app: a location for weather, a dashboard for a business intelligence tool, sometimes nothing at all.
4. Choose Install again.

It appears under Apps. It does not appear in Content with your images and videos.

Naming matters more than it looks

The name is the only thing distinguishing two instances of the same app in a playlist editor. A workspace with Weather, Weather (1) and Weather (2) in it will eventually put the wrong city on the wrong wall.

Name for the configuration, not the app: Frankfurt weather, Plant 2 throughput, Reception calendar.

What happens next

The app is ready for a playlist from here. Add it to a playlist, give it a duration, and assign the playlist to screens.

Give it a generous duration. An app fetching live data has to load before it can show anything, so a dashboard on screen for ten seconds may spend most of that loading. Thirty or forty seconds is more realistic. See How long things play.
