Connecting & Setting up a Videri Canvas

First, you’ll use your smartphone’s Bluetooth connection to identify and name your Canvas as well as connect it to your local WiFi network. 

  1. Install the "Videri" app from the iOS App Store (for iPhone) or the Google Play Store (for Android). **There is also an app from Videri called "Videri Classic" which is not compatible with this setup, ensure you are installing the Videri app only!**

  2. Ensure your Videri Canvas is plugged in to power, it will turn on automatically. Allow it to complete its initial boot sequence, this usually takes around 1 minute and the display will play a brief animation of the Videri logo when it’s finished:

     


  3. Open the Videri App, it will bring you to the login screen.

     


  4. Log in with the username and temporary password provided to you in the Welcome to Videri email from [email protected]. Select the corresponding device group for your Canvas and click "Use this group" to continue.

     


  5. You are now at the main screen for the Videri Classic app, this is what you will see every time you open the app and log in from this point forward.




  6. Click on "Set up a Canvas" and grant the app the permissions it needs to connect to your Canvas.


    Click "Next"



    Click "Allow"



    Click "Precise Location" and "While using the app" on Android devices, on iPhones click Allow when prompted to grant access to location services.


  7. Allow the app to use your phone's Bluetooth and WiFi connections to find any nearby Canvases.



  8. If you have multiple Canvases you can check to make sure you're setting up the correct one by clicking the "eye" icon, it will make that Canvas flash a color changing background and display its ID number. When you're sure you have your Canvas selected, click "Next".




  9. Name your Canvas. This can be changed at any time using the Web Portal, but you won't be able to change the name using the mobile app once it's been set.



  10. Click on "Search for nearby networks" to connect your display to WiFi


    Click on your WiFi Network Name



    Enter your WiFi password and click "Next".
     We recommend selecting the option to save your password.


Your display is now set up! You can now upload, arrange, and schedule content via the Videri web app, accessed at https://go.videri.com/signin
