Fugo allows you to display your digital signage content on supported macOS devices.

This guide will walk you through how to set up Fugo’s digital signage player app on your device, as well as how to add and publish your content from the CMS.

A few key features of running the Fugo app on macOS:

You can learn more about the minimum requirements for Apple hardware powered by macOS, as well as detailed lists of recommended, supported, and non-supported devices here.

Fugo will is expected to be available to download from the App store later in 2024. For now, you'll need to complete the installation from your device's browser.

We'll be using a MacBook Air for the purposes of this demo, but the installation process will be similar for your chosen device.

1. Turn on your device, go to the browser and open the URL for our app - https://fugo.ai/fugo.dmg

2. Save the file to install the app.

3. Drag the Fugo player app into Applications to finish installing it.

4. Once you’ve installed & launched the Fugo app, the Fugo player will start up on your screen. You’ll see a pairing code - we'll cover what to do with it in the next section.

1. Once you're logged in, you can click Create > Screen on the Welcome page. Alternatively, you can navigate to the Screens page in the top navigation bar and click Create Screens.

3. Enter the PIN from the Fugo player window into the space provided.

4. To finish the pairing process, give your screen a name and add a location.

5. Your screen will now be listed on your Screens page.

Note: You’ll need to enable automatic login into macOS so that Fugo can launch after your device restarts, otherwise you'll see Mac's login screen.

You'll need to configure this manually as it’s not possible to do it automatically from the Fugo app.

You'll follow Mac's instructions here - https://support.apple.com/en-us/102316

And select your user account from the “Automatically log in as" (or "Automatic login") menu.

By default, macOS puts the mouse cursor at the top left corner by default. This makes the top system menu popup, ruining the full screen experience 👇

To get around this, Fugo can automatically move the mouse cursor out of sight, but you'll need to grant permission for Fugo to do it.

From the Apple menu  , choose System Settings and navigate to Privacy & Security → Accessibility.

And toggle on the permission for fugo-player.

Now, you'll notice that the unsightly menu bar has been removed from the top of your screen 👇

With your player all set up, you’re ready to give it something to play!

Fugo allows you to display several types of content:

You can use our Design Studio to create screen-ready content like digital posters & menu boards without having to leave Fugo for a 3rd party tool - learn how here.

When your content is ready to go on screen, you can use our friendly playlist builder to publish your content - learn how here.

If you need any help with setup you can always reach out to our support team at support@fugo.ai.

Happy publishing!
