FireOS TVs (Amazon, Insigna, Toshiba, TCL) – OptiSigns

As of Feb 2024, FireStick and Fire TV are no longer recommended as digital signage player. This is due to Amazon eliminating the ability to auto start app with FireStick & Fire TVs starting FireOS 8.

There are workarounds with ADB commands or manually to start the app.

However, those workarounds are inconvenient, and we believe without an easy way to AutoStart apps, it is not a good solution for a Digital Signage player.

If you have older model of TVs with Amazon FireOS 7 or lower, you can continue with this article to get it set up.

Here are the high level steps:

1) Download OptiSigns Digital Signage from Amazon App Store

2) Using OptiSigns' web portal to assign content and remotely manage your screens

So let's dive in!

1) Download & Set up OptiSigns Digital Signage from Amazon App Store
