Activation page in the dashboard
Enter the 4-character code on the activation page to connect your device.

You're connected

Once activated, the screen will appear on your Screens page of your web dashboard with an Online status. The device is now linked to your Roomcaster account and will start displaying content from whatever channel you assign to it.

You can edit the screen name and other details from the Screens page at any time.

Keep your streaming device connected to WiFi at all times. If the device loses its internet connection, it won't be able to receive content updates or report its status to your dashboard.

If the activation code expires before you enter it, simply select the Refresh Code button on the Roomcaster app or restart the app on your device to get a new code. Codes expire after 15 minutes.
