5 Steps to Set Up Your First Digital Screen

Digital signage doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. With Showcel, you can have your first screen up and running in under 10 minutes. Here's how.

Step 1: Create your account. Sign up at showcel.com — the free plan includes unlimited screens with Mediensturmer branding. No credit card required.

Step 2: Add a screen. In your dashboard, click "Add screen" and give it a name like "Lobby Display" or "Store Window." Choose landscape or portrait orientation.

Step 3: Upload content. Head to the Content Library and upload your images, videos, or create text blocks. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, SVG, MP4, and WebM up to 50 MB.

Step 4: Design your layout. Open the Canvas Editor for your screen. Drag and drop content blocks onto the canvas. Resize, position, and layer them exactly how you want.

Step 5: Pair your device. Install the Showcel app on your Fire Stick, Chromecast, or any Android device. Enter the 6-digit pair code and your content appears instantly.

That's it! Your screen is now live. Any changes you make in the editor will sync to the display within 30 seconds via real-time updates. Welcome to the world of digital signage.
