TV or HDMI screen
Use the TV’s browser or connect a device with a browser. Keep the display page open for a shared office screen.
Display setup
Put your notes on the screen that works for you.
Open the display in a modern browser on a TV, computer, tablet, or phone. A TV with a browser works directly; a computer, mini PC, or streaming device connected by HDMI can also show it on a TV. Browser support varies by device, so test the screen you plan to use.
Choose a device
Computer
Open the display page in a browser. Bookmark it for quick access, or use full screen when the computer drives a dedicated display.
Phone or tablet
Open the display page in your browser and bookmark it. On browsers that offer it, you can add the site to your home screen.
Set up the display
- Connect the device to the network and open this site’s /display page in its browser. Leave that page open; it will show a six-character pairing code.
- On a separate phone or computer, sign in as a TV Notes administrator and open Pair TV.
- Choose the display, give this device a recognizable name, enter the code, and select Pair TV. Notes appear on the paired screen automatically.
- For a dedicated TV, use the browser’s full-screen mode and configure the device to stay awake. If available, set it to reopen the display page after a restart.
A pairing code expires after 10 minutes. If it expires, reload the display page for a new code. Each paired browser uses one TV slot from the plan.
Viewing and editing are different
A paired browser shows the display you chose. An authorized user signs in separately to add or edit notes. On a shared TV or computer, pair the display instead of leaving a user account signed in. You can pair more than one device to the same display, up to your plan’s paired-TV limit.
Common questions
Does the TV need a computer?
Only if the TV does not have a suitable browser. A computer or browser-capable device connected over HDMI can show the display.
Can I use my phone or tablet?
Yes. Open the display page in its browser and pair it. Bookmark the page for quick access; home-screen installation depends on the browser and connection.
What happens if the connection drops?
New notes cannot reach the device until it reconnects. Check the connection and reload the display page if updates do not resume.
