Getting started

This walkthrough takes you from an empty account to a live screen in about ten minutes. It follows the Vewport pipeline: Media → Design → Composition → Playlist → Screen.

Tip: the in-app guided tour walks you through the same path. Click the ? in

the top bar, or New here? → Take the tour in any empty section, to launch it.

The tour is non-forcing — it follows along as you work and you can dismiss it any

time.

1. Upload media

  1. Go to Media in the sidebar.
  2. Drag an image or video onto the upload area (or click Upload).
  3. Wait for processing to finish — the asset appears in your library.

Media is reusable: upload an image once and use it in any number of designs. You can also add external URLs, embeds, and live streams — see Media library.

2. Build a design

  1. Go to Designs and click New design (or Start from a template).
  2. The designer opens. Use the Elements panel on the left to add text, shapes, and media. Adjust anything you select in the Properties panel on the right.
  3. Click Save in the top toolbar.

First time in the designer? A short canvas tour offers itself automatically, and you can relaunch it from the ? button in the designer toolbar. Full details in Designer basics.

3. Arrange a composition

A composition places one or more designs on a single page (think of it as a chapter). For a single full-screen design, a one-design composition is all you need.

  1. Go to Compositions and click New composition.
  2. Drag a design from the library panel onto the canvas; position and size it.
  3. Save.

4. Order compositions into a playlist

  1. Go to Playlists and click New playlist.
  2. Add your composition(s) to the timeline.
  3. Set how long each one shows and how it advances to the next — see advance conditions.

5. Pair and assign a screen

  1. On the display you want to use, open the player URL in a browser. It shows a 6-character pairing code.
  2. In Vewport, go to Screens → Add screen, enter the code (or scan the QR), and the screen registers to your account.
  3. Open the screen, go to the Content tab, and assign your playlist.

The screen starts playing within a few seconds. Full details, including the security model, are in Screens & pairing.

What next?

  • Combine multiple screens into a video wall.
  • Control what plays when with schedules, including a Sleep rule to blank screens overnight.
  • Invite teammates and set roles — see the admin guide.
