Your first screen in 60 seconds: a quickstart guide

A step-by-step walkthrough of creating your first display screen — from signup to a live URL on a monitor.

This is the fastest way to get content on a screen. No design skills, no downloads, no credit card. Just a browser and an email address.

Step 1: Sign in (10 seconds)

Go to the app and enter your email. You'll receive a magic link — click it, and you're in. No password to create or remember.

Step 2: Create a screen (15 seconds)

Click "New Screen" on your dashboard. You'll see four templates: Announcement, Title Slide, Stats / Metrics, and Quote. Pick the one that fits your content. For your first screen, try Announcement — it's the most versatile.

Step 3: Fill in your content (20 seconds)

Type your headline, subtitle, and any body text. The live preview on the right shows exactly what the screen will look like. Pick a theme — Light, Dark, Brand, Minimal, or Bold.

Step 4: Publish (5 seconds)

Click "Go Live". Your screen gets a permanent public URL. Copy it.

Step 5: Display it (10 seconds)

Open that URL on any device — a TV, a tablet, a second monitor, a phone. The content fills the screen edge to edge. No app to install, no login required on the display device. Just a URL in a browser.

What's next

Edit your screen anytime from the dashboard. Changes are pushed to every connected display in seconds via real-time updates. Create more screens for different locations or messages. Each gets its own URL.

That's it. Sixty seconds from zero to a live screen on a monitor. Welcome to Screens by thosekids.studio.
