Quickesign for Windows

Last updated

Turn a Windows 10 or 11 computer into a digital sign with the Quickesign Digital Signage app. It is a lightweight app that runs on most modern Windows computers and any display connected to them.

What you’ll need

  • A computer with Windows 10 or Windows 11, ideally dedicated to the display, with a steady internet connection.
  • A Quickesign account, and a computer or phone to link the screen.

Steps

  1. Install Quickesign Digital Signage from the Microsoft Store and open it. It shows an activation code.

  2. Sign in at dashboard.quickesign.net, click Link New, enter the Activation code, a TV location and a Screen name, choose a Starting layout if you like, and click Link device.

    The Link New page with the Activation code field highlighted, and the TV location, Screen name and Starting layout fields below it
  3. To change how the app behaves, left-click anywhere on the screen to open its settings:

    • Reload: reloads all content, so you see your changes right away.
    • Start after re-boot: starts Quickesign whenever the computer starts. If Windows asks for a PIN or password at sign-in, you need to sign in first, or turn that requirement off.
    • Keep on Top: stops anyone from minimizing Quickesign or opening another app over it; useful in public places.
    • Orientation: turns the display 90 degrees with each press. Use a layout whose orientation matches (see Vertical/Portrait Screens).
    • Schedule Restart: restarts the app at a set time each day, so it gets all updates and clears memory.
    • Clear Cache: clears saved data. This also unlinks the computer: link it again with the new code on the screen.
    • Exit: closes the app.

    Click a setting again to turn it off.
