Displayer is digital signage software for Windows that turns any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC into a signage player without an installer: the screen is a web page opened in Edge or Chrome in kiosk mode, paired with a six digit code, and managed from one cloud panel. It costs from 19 USD per active screen per month, with no player licence on top. If IT already manages Windows machines, the cheapest player in the building is often a mini PC bought from the same supplier as everything else.
There is no installer. The player is a web page, opened in Edge or Chrome in kiosk mode, pointed at the pairing URL. The machine signs in automatically, opens the browser on start, and shows the screen. Nothing else has to be deployed to it.
That means the device is managed exactly like your other Windows endpoints: your imaging, your patching, your inventory, your remote support.
Most Windows signage products ship a player app: an installer, a background service, an updater and an entry in every endpoint audit. That is one more piece of software to package, whitelist and patch across every screen.
Displayer's Windows signage player is the browser the machine already has. Edge kiosk mode, which Microsoft supports through Assigned Access on Windows 10 and Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise and Education, runs a single full screen site and restarts it if it closes. Your endpoint tools already know how to deploy and lock that configuration, so a Windows PC digital signage player is a policy you push, not a package you maintain.
The screen builder below renders what a Windows mini PC plays once it opens the Displayer URL. Pick a venue, a layout and an orientation, type three lines, and watch the loop run with its live clock and ticker.
The schedule strip underneath shows the same playlist placed on a weekly grid, which is exactly what the schedule view does inside the product.
A small business mini PC is enough for images, web content and 1080p video. Choose one with 8 GB of memory and a modern integrated graphics chip if the screens run 4K video. An older desktop from a refresh cycle is a perfectly good player for a notice board, and costs nothing extra. On a plant floor the same machine in a rated enclosure drives a line board, which is the usual route for digital signage for manufacturing. See digital signage player for the alternatives.
A Windows player can be healthy and still show the wrong thing: a login prompt after a failed update, a driver dialog over the content, a browser error page. A playback log will not tell you, because the player reported the file as played.
Displayer records the play history and takes periodic screenshots of the screen itself, so the panel shows you what each Windows screen actually displayed, with a timestamp. A screen stuck on an update prompt shows up as a picture of the prompt, not as a green status light. Proof of play is on the Professional plan and above; the proof of play page covers the record.
Software is billed per active screen, regardless of what drives it: 19 USD on Essential, 29 USD on Professional with groups and proof of play, 49 USD on Network with single sign-on and the audit log. The Windows machine is yours, so there is no player licence on top. See the pricing page.
No. A browser in kiosk mode pointed at the pairing URL is the whole deployment. Your existing management tools can set that up on a fresh machine.
Schedule updates outside trading hours and allow the automatic restart. The machine comes back, signs in, reopens the browser and the screen resumes its schedule. The play record shows the gap.
Yes. The player keeps its schedule and media locally and carries on playing, then uploads the stored play records when the connection returns.
There is no separate app to install. The Windows signage player is a web page opened in Edge or Chrome in kiosk mode, which gives the same full screen, auto starting behavior as an installed player app, without a service to package, whitelist and patch on every PC.
Yes. Any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC with a current Edge or Chrome runs the player. Edge kiosk mode through Assigned Access is available on the Pro, Enterprise and Education editions; on Home, a startup task that opens the browser full screen does the same job.
A business mini PC with 8 GB of memory and a modern integrated graphics chip handles images, web dashboards and 4K video. For a notice board or a menu screen, an older desktop from a refresh cycle is enough and costs nothing extra.
Displayer costs 19 USD per active screen per month on Essential, or 9 USD on the yearly rate. Professional, with groups, approvals and screenshot proof of play, is 29 USD monthly or 14 USD yearly. The Windows machine is yours, so there is no player licence or hardware fee on top.
Each paired screen is one browser window in kiosk mode, so the simplest and most reliable setup is one small PC per screen. A single PC mirroring one output to several displays also works when every screen should show exactly the same thing.
Open the pairing URL on one mini PC, type six digits, and it is a managed screen. The rest is content.
