How to set up IAdea with Fugo
Before installing Fugo onto your device, make sure:
Your player is connected to the screen via HDMI cable.

Your player is updated with the latest available firmware
Once your device is ready, you can install the Fugo Player using either the APK file or the web app method.
Install Fugo onto your device
Using the APK file

💡 You can also download the file using the IAdea device’s built-in Chrome browser, which means you don’t need a USB stick or removable storage.
