Amazon Fire TV devices are among our favorites for turning standard TVs into smart digital signage. The Fire TV Stick 4K is perfect for small businesses on small budgets.

Not only is it easy to set up, but it’s surprisingly powerful and can handle just about any rich content you throw at it.

This guide will walk you through how to install Fugo to your Amazon device, set up a Fugo account, and publish your content.

Whatever device you are using with Fugo, make sure it is connected to the internet.

If you're using a Fire TV Stick, be sure to plug it into your TV’s HDMI port.

You can check out this quick guide from Amazon for setting up various devices.

1.1 Once your device is connected to the internet, you’ll need to install the Fugo player app onto it. Navigate to the Amazon Appstore, search for "Fugo Digital Signage Player" and install our app.

If you’re using an Amazon Fire tablet, you can find our app here directly.

1.2 Launching the app will automatically generate a PIN. We’ll cover where to enter this PIN in the next section.

2.1 If you have not already registered on Fugo CMS, go to http://fugo.ai/app to start your 14-day free trial.

2.2 After successfully logging in, you can click Add Screens on the welcome page. Alternatively, you can navigate to the Screens page in the top navigation bar and click Create Screen.

2.3 Enter the PIN from the Fugo player window into the space provided.

2.4 To finish the pairing process, give your screen a name and add a location.

💡 We recommend you name your player something relevant such as 68 Lombard Street or Clapham Coffee Shop. For my example, I’ve named my screen “Fugo HQ.” The address should be your screen’s location.

2.5 Your screen will now be listed on your Screens page:

Congratulations, you’ve added your screen! Here, have this cake 🍰 to celebrate!

Now you’re ready to start publishing content. We’ll cover that in the next section.

With your player ready to go, let’s give it something to play by creating a playlist!

3.1 Navigate to the Playlist page in the top navigation bar.

3.2 Click the Create Playlist button. This will open the playlist builder.

3.3 Start by giving your playlist a name in the top left corner of the page. I’ll call mine “Sarah’s playlist.”

3.4 You can add screens, content, or schedule in any order. For the sake of ease, I’ll start with adding a screen. Click Select Screens and choose your screen or screen groups you'd like to publish your playlist to.

3.5 Select content to add to your playlist by clicking Select Content and choosing from your Media, Apps, Studio Content, or Dashboards. Click Add Items when you’ve finished choosing your content.

📝 Note: if you see an orange notification next to an app in your playlist, that means you need to configure the app's settings before publishing your playlist. Just click the icon to do so.

3.6 Finally, if you’d like to schedule your content, you can start by indicating the start and end dates under Date Range. Tick the box for No End Date if you want your content to play indefinitely.

3.7 You can also set the week schedule by clicking and dragging along the schedule.

Alternatively, you can select just Workdays or Weekends in the top right corner of the schedule if you want your playlist to run only on those days. If you want your content to run 24/7, you can click Select All.

💡 Selecting “Workdays” will set your content to run from 8am - 7pm. You can change those hours by clicking on a day block, and manually entering the run times in the day’s window.

3.8 Once your schedule is set, click Publish in the bottom right corner to publish your new playlist! If you don’t want to publish right away, just click Finish Later and it will save your playlist for you to edit later.

Viola - your content is live!

💡 When you’re ready to come back to your playlist, you’ll find it saved on your Playlists page. Click “Publish” or select “Edit” from the dotted menu at the right of the playlist panel.

There you go. It’s that easy to set up your digital signage display with Fugo for Amazon Fire! 💪
