Add a new display device

Hook a new TV, Raspberry Pi, or computer to your account so it joins the Active Displays list and starts getting content updates.

1. 1

   Power on the display device

   Plug your TV, Raspberry Pi, or mini-PC into power and the screen over HDMI, and confirm it’s online (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) before moving on.
2. 2

   Open a browser

   On the device, open any modern browser — Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Edge, or the TV’s built-in one. Anything from the last couple of years is fine.
3. 3

   Go to the launch URL

   In the address bar, type:
   
   https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.php
4. 4

   Sign in with the Launch Display card

   Use the orange Launch Display card — not the blue Dashboard one. Sign in and the device registers itself to your account on that first login.
5. 5

   Verify it appears in your dashboard

   Back on your editing computer, open the dashboard and check the Active Displays list in the sidebar. The device should show up with a green dot and its IP within a minute.
6. 6

   Set kiosk mode (optional)

   For unattended screens, set the browser to auto-launch fullscreen at startup:
   
   • Raspberry Pi: install Chromium and add @chromium-browser --kiosk https://www.localbillboards.net/signin.php to ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart.
   • Smart TV: bookmark the URL on the home screen.
   • Windows / Mac: create a Chrome shortcut with --kiosk <URL> and add it to Startup / Login Items.
