Getting Started with Publish TV App
The Publish TV App displays your media content on TVs, monitors, and digital signs. Once set up, the app runs automatically and keeps your content fresh.
What You'll Need
Before you begin:
- A display device (TV, monitor, or digital sign) with the Publish TV App installed
- The device connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)

How It Works
The app guides you through setup automatically:
- Registration - The device shows a code to link it to your account
- Content Sync - The app downloads your media from the server

Once set up, the device runs on its own. It automatically syncs new content when you publish updates from the web app.
