Fire TV Stick digital signage, simple and affordable
A Fire TV Stick is an affordable way to put content on a TV: plug it in, install the TVpilot app from the Amazon Appstore (or open your screen's player URL in the Silk browser), and manage everything else from the TVpilot dashboard. For simple, reliable and powerful signage solutions, we recommend the Amazon Signage Stick.
Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month.
Looking for purpose-built hardware? The Amazon Signage Stick is an easy to use, affordable media player built for digital signage. It boots straight into TVpilot in kiosk mode, recovers on its own after a power cut and is set up in minutes with the free Amazon Signage app.
An Amazon Fire TV Stick, a TV, and the TVpilot app
TVpilot is in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Fire TV Stick you install the app, enter a claim code and the screen plays. Prefer not to install anything? The free Silk browser with your player URL works too. Any Fire TV Stick Amazon still sells works. This is everything you need to put content on a TV:
Set up Amazon Fire TV Stick signage in 4 steps
Sign up free and click "Add screen". Choose Fire TV Stick as the device type and you get a short player URL for that screen, the only address the TV ever needs to know.
On the Fire TV home screen, search the Amazon Appstore for "TVpilot" and install it. It is free and installs in under a minute. Without the app, install "Amazon Silk browser" instead.
Open the app and type the 6-character claim code from the screen page in your dashboard. The Stick connects and shows its assigned playlist immediately. In Silk, open the player URL instead.
The app reopens by itself after a restart and keeps playing. All content changes happen from the dashboard from then on; you never plug a USB stick into the TV again.
Manage content and devices from one dashboard
Once the Stick shows your player URL, you never touch the TV again for content changes. Everything below works the same whether you run one screen or a fleet across several locations.
Images, videos, web pages and PDFs live together in one playlist, with drag-and-drop ordering and smooth transitions. Web pages are a first-class item, so a live dashboard, your Instagram page or any URL can rotate alongside your own media. Mount the TV landscape or portrait: each screen has its own orientation setting and content adapts to it.
Show the lunch menu at noon and the evening promo after five: every slide can be scheduled per time slot and per day of the week, and a slide with an end date takes itself off screen when the promotion ends, so no forgotten posters in February.
Describe a promo, menu or welcome screen in a short brief and AI Studio generates a finished signage screen for you, or start from a ready-made template in the Designer and swap in your own text, photos and logo.
The dashboard shows online/offline status and heartbeats for every screen, so you know a display went dark before a customer tells you. Start free with one screen; when you add devices or locations, the same dashboard manages the whole fleet from €5/month with 3 screens included.
Fire TV Stick + TVpilot vs a dedicated signage player
Fire TV Stick signage, answered
Is there a TVpilot app in the Amazon app store?
Yes. Search for "TVpilot" in the Amazon Appstore on your Fire TV Stick, install it and enter the claim code from your dashboard. The Silk browser route with the player URL keeps working as well. Want a player that is purpose-built for signage and starts in kiosk mode? The Amazon Signage Stick runs TVpilot natively, set up with the free Amazon Signage app.
Which Amazon Fire TV Stick do I need?
Any Amazon Fire TV Stick that can install the Silk browser works, from the basic model to the 4K Max. For smooth video playback a recent model (Fire TV Stick 4K or newer) is the safer choice; for mostly static images, menus and schedules, any Stick is fine, including older ones you already own.
How do I download the Silk browser?
On the Fire TV home screen, open the search and type "Amazon Silk browser", then choose Download. It is Amazon's own free browser, so it is always available in the Amazon app store, installs in under a minute and needs no account or payment.
How do I keep the Stick running around the clock?
In the Fire TV display settings, turn off the screensaver and sleep timer (or set them to the maximum). The TVpilot app keeps playing and reopens after a restart; in the Silk browser route, reopen the bookmark after a power cut. For fully unattended screens, the Amazon Signage Stick and the Raspberry Pi start into TVpilot by themselves.
