Amazon Signage Stick
Last Updated: 04.09.2025 [test start: 01.24.2025]
Testing phase:These are preliminary instructions for the testing phase with the Amazon signage stick. We appreciate your assistance in reporting issues as well as feedback on the setup instructions linked below. [Email dsign@iu.edu]
Issues known so far:
More than ten Amazon Signage Sticks have been deployed and tested for a few weeks now. There are some minor annoyances but so far, the results have been good especially considering the cost [$99.00/each]. We're still not officially giving the green light, but several units have already moved forward with it.
Some issues reported so far:
- Random reboots, but device recovers and resumes displaying content. Viewers may see some system related messages, and/or Poppulo logo during reboot.
- Poppulo logo (or a blank screen) occasionally appears while device checks for updates, but device resumes displaying content.
- A unified Amazon account is needed, which is managed by digital signage support within UITS Enterprise Experience team.
- Setting up the device requires [these] special instructions.
- Custom template required for emergency messaging.
- Natively supports landscape mode only. [Currently testing a work around. Contact dsign@iu.edu]
- Device is USB powered.
