Choose Your Setup Method

HootBoard offers several ways to get your digital signage up and running. Here are your options, ranked by reliability and ease of use:

The most reliable and feature-rich option. Use the HootBoard Signage Player app directly on Google TV devices for optimal performance and automatic updates.

2. Google Streaming Devices

Stream content using compatible Google streaming devices with the HootBoard Signage Player app for a solid digital signage experience.

3. Compatible Android TVs

Install the HootBoard Signage Player on Android TV devices that support the application for a native signage solution.

5. Windows PC

Run HootBoard Signage Player on Windows computers for environments where PC-based signage is preferred or required.

While available, the HootBoard Fire TV App on Fire OS based devices has limitations and is not our recommended approach.

7. Web Browser (Temporary Use Only)

Access HootBoard Signage through any web browser. This method is suitable only for temporary installations or testing purposes, not for permanent digital signage deployments.
