Digital signage on AirServer

Your AirServer Connect display sits idle between casting sessions. Set player.fugo.ai as its background and Fugo shows scheduled signage the rest of the time — with no extra hardware and no install.

How it works

Signage between casting sessions

AirServer Connect turns meeting rooms and lecture halls into wireless screen-mirroring receivers. Fugo fills the idle time in between — no second player needed.

Fill the idle screen

When no one is sharing, an AirServer display normally shows a blank background. Point that background at Fugo and it plays your scheduled content instead — announcements, dashboards, welcome slides, and more. The screen stays useful every hour it is powered on.

Resumes on cast

The moment someone mirrors from a phone, tablet, or laptop, screen sharing takes over the display. When the session ends, AirServer returns to its background and Fugo signage picks up where it left off — no button to press and nothing to switch.

No install, just a URL

Fugo runs as a browser-based player, so there is nothing to download onto the AirServer device. You set https://player.fugo.ai as the background from the Device Management portal, and the player boots straight from the web the next time the screen wakes.

One screen, more value

A screen-mirroring receiver you already own becomes a signage display for free. Room-availability notes, team KPIs, and internal comms play across the working day, so the investment earns its keep between meetings.

Open device management

In the AirServer Device Management portal, open the Personalization panel and choose the Website option under the Background selector. This is where AirServer lets you replace the idle background with a live web page.

Set the background URL

Enter https://player.fugo.ai as the background. The Fugo player boots on your screen and shows a 4-digit pairing PIN — keep it visible for the next step.

Pair in Fugo CMS

In Fugo, go to Screens, click Create Screen, and enter the 4-digit PIN. Name the screen after its room or location, then start publishing playlists to it from the cloud.

Fugo software

A full signage CMS behind your idle screen

AirServer handles the casting; Fugo CMS gives you everything you need to schedule, design, and manage what plays between sessions — across one screen or a whole estate.

Fugo media library showing uploaded images, video, and content sources

Content sources

Upload images and video, embed live web pages, or pull data from the tools you already use through the Fugo app store. Add live video streams, social walls, and TV dashboards so idle screens show something current, not a static loop.

Fugo Design Studio content library used to build screen-ready signage

Design studio

Build screen-ready posters, welcome slides, and dashboard carousels inside Fugo without a third-party tool. Start from a free industry template or your own brand assets, then publish straight to the paired AirServer screen.

Playlist scheduling in Fugo with start and end dates set for a campaign

Flexible scheduling

Set start and end dates, day-parting, and recurring schedules so the right content plays at the right time. Because signage only shows between casts, scheduling keeps meeting-room screens relevant to whoever is in the room that day.

Fugo Screens page grouping paired displays by property for central management

Central screen management

Group, tag, and monitor every paired display from one cloud dashboard. Roll the same idle-screen playlist out to a bank of meeting rooms, or tailor content per location, without visiting a single screen.

The method explained

How idle-screen signage works

AirServer Connect is a screen-mirroring receiver, not a signage player — so this is a method, not a second device. AirServer lets you set a custom background for the times when nobody is casting, and Fugo plugs into that slot as a live web page. Between sessions the display shows your scheduled Fugo content; the instant someone starts mirroring, screen sharing takes priority and covers the whole screen. When they disconnect, the AirServer background reappears and Fugo resumes automatically.

  • Casting always wins — screen sharing takes over whenever a session is active
  • Signage resumes on its own the moment the cast ends, with nothing to switch
  • One method, no extra box: it reuses the receiver you already have
  • Every paired display connects to Fugo like any other player and uses one screen licence

AirServer digital signage FAQs

What is AirServer?

AirServer Connect is a universal screen-mirroring receiver for meeting rooms and lecture halls. It lets people share content from a phone, tablet, or laptop onto a large display using AirPlay, Google Cast, or Miracast, with low latency and no cables.

Can I use AirServer with Fugo?

Yes. You set https://player.fugo.ai as the AirServer custom background from the Device Management portal, then pair the screen in Fugo CMS. Fugo shows your scheduled signage between casting sessions, and screen sharing takes over automatically when someone starts mirroring.

Do I need to install anything on the AirServer device?

No. There’s nothing to download onto the device — Fugo runs as a browser-based player, so you simply point AirServer’s background at the Fugo player URL. You will need to set up the AirServer Connect device itself first, following AirServer’s own setup guide.

What happens when someone casts to the screen?

Screen sharing always takes priority. The moment someone mirrors from their device, the cast covers the whole display and your Fugo signage steps aside. When the session ends and they disconnect, AirServer returns to its background and Fugo resumes playing your scheduled content automatically — nobody has to press a button.

What devices can mirror to AirServer?

Any phone, tablet, or computer with built-in support for AirPlay, Google Cast, or Miracast — including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Chromebook, and Windows devices. AirServer handles the receiving; Fugo simply fills the screen between those sessions.

What can Fugo play on an AirServer screen?

Anything you would run on a normal Fugo screen: images and video, 4K and HTML5 content, live web pages, social media walls, TV dashboards like Power BI and Tableau, and slides you build in Design Studio. Content is scheduled and published from Fugo CMS.

Does an AirServer screen use a Fugo licence?

Yes. A paired AirServer display connects to Fugo like any other player and consumes one normal Fugo screen licence, whether or not anyone is actively casting to it.
