In this article, we'll install the OptiSigns player on a Windows PC and pair it with your OptiSigns account.
The OptiSigns player turns any Windows PC into a digital signage player. It's also an easy way to try OptiSigns on your own laptop before you set up a dedicated screen.
The player runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11, 32-bit and 64-bit.
Install the OptiSigns Player
Download the OptiSigns installer for Windows.
Open the downloaded file, OptiSigns Digital Signage Setup, to install the player.
When the installation finishes, the player opens full screen and shows a pairing code. Keep it on screen; you'll need it to pair.
Use the Player Menu
Move the mouse to show three buttons at the top right of the player: Exit Fullscreen, Menu and Close. Select Menu to open the side menu.
The side menu includes:
- Orientation: rotate the content to match how the screen is mounted.
- Restart: restart the player at a set time each day.
- AutoStart: open the player when Windows starts. On by default.
- Fullscreen on Startup: open the player full screen. On by default.
- Advanced Options: more settings for the player.
Because AutoStart is on by default, OptiSigns opens by itself the next time the PC starts.
Pair the Player with Your Account
Go to app.optisigns.com and log in. If you don't have an account yet, select Create Account. You can also log in with Google, Microsoft or Facebook.
On the Screens page, select Add Screen.
Enter the pairing code shown on the player in Pair code, then select Pair.
NOTE |
| Codes are case-sensitive, and the portal enters them in capitals. If the code on your player has lowercase letters, select Use lowercase pairing code and type it exactly as shown. If pairing fails with a case error, the portal switches this on for you, so check the code and select Pair again. |
The player changes to show that it's paired.
