Getting started
Getting started with SlideLobster
Create your first display, add widgets, and put it on a TV — in under five minutes.
Welcome
SlideLobster turns any TV with a web browser into a live display for your venue. This guide walks you through your first display end-to-end.
1. Create an account
Head to the Sign up page, enter your email and a password (or use Google), and tick the box to accept our Terms and Privacy Policy. You'll land in the app immediately.
2. Create your first display
After signup you'll be guided through naming your display (e.g. "Bar TV") and choosing a starter theme. Click Create my display to continue.
3. Add widgets
In the display editor, click Add widget. Pick a widget from the marketplace — for example Weather, Image slide, or Social feed — and configure it in the side panel.
4. Show it on a TV
Open the TV's browser and go to slidelobster.com/pair. Enter the pairing code from your display's settings. Your TV will start playing your slides on a loop.
