# Your Apple TV becomes your signage player.

Install Better Signage on an Apple TV running tvOS 26.5 or later, pair it with your free account, and send your first playlist from the dashboard.

Updated October 26, 2026

## 1\. Check the Apple TV

You need tvOS 26.5 or later, a connected display, and internet access. In Apple TV Settings, check the installed software and available updates. Review the  [system requirements](https://bettersignage.io/requirements/)  before preparing a fleet.

## 2\. Find the app on Apple TV

Open the App Store on your Apple TV and search for **Better Signage** by Wes Walz. You can also  [view Better Signage on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/better-signage/id6806886806) . Check the listing’s compatibility and install it on your Apple TV.

Availability depends on your storefront and device. If the listing does not appear, check your region and tvOS version, then  [contact support](https://app.bettersignage.io/support/new?category=setup) . Do not install an unrelated app with a similar name.

The storage-preparation correction and automatic local storage error display are in version **1.0.3 (18)**. As of October 26, 2026 CDT (October 27 UTC), that update was **Waiting for Review** and is not yet available. Check the Apple TV App Store for availability; review and release timing are not guaranteed. Read the  [storage troubleshooting guide](https://bettersignage.io/support/storage/)  if a small playlist is blocked.

## 3\. Create your account and pair

 [Create a free account](https://app.bettersignage.io/signup)  or  [sign in](https://app.bettersignage.io/login)  on your phone or computer. Open Better Signage on the Apple TV, enter its current code in the dashboard’s **Pair TV** step, and choose **Pair TV**.

If tvOS asks about Local Network access, that permission is used for optional media delivery from other authorized Apple TVs on the same account and LAN. Cloud delivery still requires internet access.

## 4\. Put something on screen

Use **Add media**, then **Playlist**, then **Play** in the dashboard. Wait for the player to prepare the files and confirm the result on the physical TV. Videos play silently.
