Install Content Player

1. Ensure that you have the invite code. The invite code will be emailed to you from the Digital Signage administrators after you complete the software request form. The email message will also include connection properties strings (credentials) with a more secure method.

   Double-click the installer. The default value for Install Content Player for yourself, or for anyone who uses this computer should be Everyone.

2. In the "Confirm Installation" dialog box, click Next to start the installation.
   Note:

   If administrator authentication is required, contact your IT support person to enter their credentials and authenticate the installation.

   When you see the "Installation Complete" dialog, click Close.

3. Two applications are installed. The Content Player is the normal application for displaying content on your digital sign. Content Player Configuration is for player-specific settings such as ticker speed and power options.

   Launch the Content Player Configuration app. As soon as it opens, you will be asked for the invite code; alternatively, you can enter the invite code in the About tab. After entering the invite code, the "Configuration" dialog opens.
