Set up CastHub
This guide walks through a first-time CastHub deployment from account creation to a screen showing your content. Plan on roughly fifteen minutes for a single screen.
1. Create an account and choose a plan
Sign up at the CastHub web app. Pick the plan that matches your screen count: Basic ($12/month, up to 2 screens), Pro ($35/month, up to 10 screens), or Enterprise ($95/month, unlimited). You can sign in with email and password, with Microsoft, or with Google.
2. Create a presentation
From the Presentations page, choose New Presentation, give it a name, set a default slide duration in seconds, and add slides. CastHub supports uploaded images, uploaded videos, image URLs, video URLs, web page slides, and uploaded PDF or PowerPoint decks. Save when you have at least one slide.
3. Install the playback app on your screen
CastHub has playback apps for Android TV, Amazon Signage Stick (Fire TV), Apple TV, Samsung Tizen TV, and Roku. Install from the relevant app store and open the app.
4. Activate the device
The playback app shows an activation code on screen. In the CastHub web or mobile app, go to Devices, choose Verify Device, and enter the code.
5. Assign your presentation
On the Devices page, find your device’s group (the default group, unless you have created others), select Presentation, and choose the presentation you created in step 2. The screen updates on its next sync.
What’s next
Add a second screen by repeating steps 3 and 4. Use schedules to change content automatically by date or day of week. Use device groups to drive different screens with different content. Use offline mode if your locations have unreliable connectivity (Amazon Signage Stick is the recommended platform for offline-first deployments).
