In this article, we'll install the OptiSigns app on an LG webOS Smart TV and pair it with your OptiSigns account.
- Before You Start
- Install the OptiSigns App
- Pair the TV with Your Account
- Open OptiSigns Each Day
- Next Steps
You can run OptiSigns on an LG webOS Smart TV, so your signage plays straight from the TV without any extra hardware.
IMPORTANT |
| For most signage, we recommend a dedicated player such as the OptiSigns Android Player instead. LG webOS Smart TVs don't let apps start automatically, so someone has to open OptiSigns each time the TV turns on. The app also doesn't save your content on the TV. It plays content over the internet, so it needs a steady connection, and the screen can't keep playing if the network drops. An LG webOS TV works well for a small playlist when the connection is reliable and someone can open the app each day. |
This article is for consumer LG Smart TVs. If you have a commercial LG display that runs webOS Signage, see our LG webOS Signage article instead.
Before You Start
- Connect the TV to the internet. A wired connection is best, because OptiSigns streams your content.
- Update the TV's software from its Settings menu.
Install the OptiSigns App
Press the Home button on the remote and open the LG Content Store. Search for OptiSigns.
Select the OptiSigns app, then select Install.
When it finishes, open OptiSigns from the home screen.
The app shows a pairing code. Keep it on screen; you'll need it to pair.
NOTE |
| If you can't find OptiSigns in the LG Content Store, it isn't available for your TV model or region. Consider a dedicated player such as the OptiSigns Android Player. |
Pair the TV with Your Account
- On a computer or phone, 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 your TV in Pair code, then select Pair.
Note: Codes are case-sensitive, and the portal enters them in capitals. If the code on your TV has lowercase letters, select Use lowercase pairing code and type it exactly as shown.
Open OptiSigns on Startup
Since LG webOS TVs don't start apps automatically, open OptiSigns from the home screen each time the TV turns on. Once it's open, it plays whatever you've assigned to the screen in the portal.
