LOOP turns Android TV devices, Android boxes and Android tablets into Android digital signage. Install the app, pair the screen with your LOOP account and manage content, schedules and screens from one cloud dashboard.
First screen free. No credit card required.
Android TV boxes, professional SoC screens and tablets run LOOP without a proprietary player. Using a TCL Google TV? See TCL digital signage.
Content is stored on the device, so screens keep playing if the connection drops.
Adjust volume, restart the app, clear the cache and take screenshots from the LOOP dashboard.
Manage Android screens next to your other LOOP players, with the same playlists and schedules.

LOOP stores your playlists on the Android device. If Wi-Fi or Ethernet drops, the screen keeps playing and syncs changes when the connection is back.
LOOP can start by itself when the device powers on. Android TV needs a one-time "Display over other apps" permission, set with ADB. On tablets and phones you grant it in the app.
Pro tip from the LOOP team: grant the auto-start permission during setup, before the screen goes on the wall. After a power cut, LOOP then comes back on its own with no one touching the remote.
1
Install LOOP from Google Play (search "LOOP Digital Signage") or download the Android signage APK.
2
Open LOOP. A pairing code appears on the screen.
3
In the LOOP dashboard, add a screen and enter the code.
4
Assign a playlist or schedule. Content starts playing.

FAQ
Android digital signage is a business screen powered by an Android device running a signage app. With LOOP, an Android TV, Android box or tablet plays images, videos, web pages and apps on a schedule, keeps playing offline, and is managed from one cloud dashboard. See how LOOP works
Yes. The Android TV is the player. Install the LOOP Digital Signage app for Android TV from Google Play or the APK, then pair it with your account. Remote screen on/off and device restart are not available on Android TV. See all supported players
Install LOOP from Google Play or the Android signage APK, open it and enter the pairing code in your LOOP dashboard. On Android TV, also grant the one-time auto-start permission so LOOP restarts after a power cut. Download the Android APK
Yes, with the right hardware. LOOP caches content for offline playback, starts after a power cut once auto-start is enabled, and lets you restart the app and take screenshots remotely. For screens that run all day, choose commercial-grade hardware. Compare Android with other players
On Android TV devices, remote screen on/off, device restart, power scheduling and kiosk lockdown are not available, auto-start needs a one-time setup, and 4K depends on the hardware. Ask our team about your device
LOOP also runs on the Amazon Signage Stick and Display, Raspberry Pi, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, TCL Commercial, Fire TV, and Windows PCs or any browser through the LOOP Web Player. Each has its own player page. See all digital signage players
Download the APK, pair your first screen and start free.
