Signage with Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is a fantastically clever little device that plugs into the HDMI port of your television, and adds some smarts to your otherwise slightly dim-witted display. With the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, you get access to everything you'd expect from a modern media player (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc), but also a huge App Store. And - as you might expect - that's where AIscreen comes in. In this guide, we'll show you everything you need to know about using the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K to turn your TV into digital signage for your business.1. How to Setup your Amazon Fire TV Stick for Digital Signage
1.1. Set up your Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plug your Amazon Fire TV Stick into your TV screen and use this quick guide from Amazon to get set up. If you’ve lost your Amazon Fire remote (according to the internet this happens a lot), then you may need to reorder one, or checkout this Reddit thread which could help turn your mobile phone into a dummy remote for the time being. Download AIcloud Once you have your Fire TV Stick set up, you’ll need to download the AIcloud app by locating the app store of one of our supported devices. As you’re using the Amazon Fire TV Stick, this will be the Amazon AppStore. Use your TV remote to navigate to the Amazon app store and search “AIcloud”. If you’re working on a laptop or PC you can follow the link here instead. Something to note – We don’t recommend purchasing an Amazon Fire TV Stick Basic Edition for digital signage as there are better options out there. For those who already have one and want to use it for digital signage, this device doesn’t have a search feature or Alexa voice control so it can be a little tricky to download apps like AIcloud. The Fire TV Stick Basic Edition is more of a “plug and play” device for streaming Netflix or something on Amazon Prime. This is why we recommend using the Fire TV Stick 4K version, unless this isn’t available in your region, in which case here’s a guide on how to set up AIcloud on the basic Fire Stick edition. Launch the AIcloud app Once your app has downloaded launch it up and you’ll be presented with the screen below that shows your unique code. Make a note of this code – you’re going to need it in the next step Sign up on the AIcloud website Once you’ve got your code, you’ll need to access the AIcloud web app from your laptop or PC.
