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.
