Three ways to get your TV Loopr boards on any screen — from our plug-and-play device to your laptop or smart TV. No technical expertise required.
The easiest, most reliable method. Our dedicated Android-based dongle plugs into any HDMI port and auto-boots directly into your display — no keyboard, mouse, or extra setup needed.
Plug the TV Loopr dongle into any HDMI port on your TV. Connect the included USB power cable to the dongle — use the TV's USB port or the included power adapter.
💡 Tip: Make sure your TV's HDMI port is powered. On most TVs the USB port stays on, but use the wall adapter if unsure.Using your TV remote, press INPUT, SOURCE, or AV and select the HDMI port your dongle is plugged into (e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2).
On first boot, the device will display a "TV Loopr Setup" screen. On your phone or laptop, connect to the temporary WiFi network called TV Loopr Setup, then follow the on-screen prompts to enter your location's WiFi credentials.
🔒 Your WiFi password is stored only on the device and never sent to our servers.Once online, the device screen will display a 6-digit sync code. Head to your TV Loopr dashboard, open any board or playlist, and enter this code to instantly pair and push content to the display.
Your board will appear full-screen, auto-rotating and looping your content 24/7. The device automatically reconnects after power outages or reboots — zero maintenance.
Advanced Setup: IT professionals can use our Auto-Setup Bash Script via SSH or a USB drive to pre-configure WiFi credentials, orientation, and display name automatically — great for multi-location deployments.
Use any Windows PC, Mac, or Linux computer you already own. Connect it to your TV with an HDMI cable and run the display in full-screen mode — no extra hardware to purchase.
Run an HDMI cable from your computer's HDMI output to an HDMI input on the TV. If your computer has a different port (USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort), use the appropriate adapter.

Windows: Right-click desktop → Display Settings → Set TV as Second
Screen or Duplicate.
Mac: System Settings → Displays → arrange your TV as the primary or
extended display.
On the computer, open Google Chrome and navigate to your TV Loopr display link — found in your dashboard under Connect → Display URL. Move the browser window to the TV screen.

to start full-screen automatically on boot.
On your computer go to Power Settings and set the display to Never sleep. Disable screen savers. On Windows you can use a free tool like Caffeine to keep the screen awake automatically.
A laptop works perfectly but keep it plugged into power — battery drain will eventually cause it to sleep or shut down, taking your display offline. A desktop or a dedicated mini-PC (like an Intel NUC) hidden behind the TV is ideal for always-on deployments.
Many modern Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense) include a web browser. No extra hardware needed — just open the browser and navigate to your display URL. Results vary by TV model.
Press the Home or Smart Hub button on your TV remote. Look for a Web Browser or Internet app in your TV's app list. If you don't see one, your TV may not have a built-in browser.
📱 Samsung: Smart Hub → Apps → Internet | LG: Home → Web Browser | Sony (Google TV): Google Play → search "browser"Go to Settings → Network on your TV and connect to the same WiFi network as your TV Loopr account. This is usually set up during initial TV setup.
In the TV browser, type your TV Loopr display URL (found in your dashboard under Connect → Display URL). Bookmark it for quick access next time.
Use your TV remote's options menu to toggle Full Screen mode in the browser. On most Samsung TVs press the Tools or ☰ button while the browser is open.
Smart TV browsers vary widely in quality and JavaScript support. If your TV browser renders content incorrectly or performs sluggishly, we strongly recommend using our TV Loopr Streaming Device or a dedicated computer for a reliable, pixel-perfect experience.
