Browser playback lets you run Buzzblender on any device with a web browser — no TV app required. You can use it on computers, tablets, or any screen that can display a fullscreen browser window.
Browser playback connects your screen to Buzzblender through the web player at play.buzzblender.com. When you open this URL, the browser displays a device code that you link to your account. Once linked, the browser shows your scheduled content just like a TV app would.
Open play.buzzblender.com in your browser.
The page displays a device code and Device ID. Note the device code.
Go to app.buzzblender.com/device in a separate browser tab or on another device.
Sign in to your Buzzblender account if prompted.
Enter the device code from the browser player page.
The browser player will confirm authorization and begin showing your content.
Keep the browser window open and in fullscreen mode for uninterrupted playback. Most browsers let you enter fullscreen by pressing F11 (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+F (Mac).
Disable screen savers and sleep settings on the device running the browser player.
For digital signage use, a wired internet connection or strong Wi-Fi signal helps maintain smooth playback.
Browser playback is useful when:
You want to test Buzzblender before installing a TV app.
Your screen doesn't support LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, or Android TV.
You're using a computer, tablet, or other browser-capable device as a display.
For permanent signage installations on smart TVs, the native LG, Samsung, or Android apps may offer better reliability and automatic startup.
The browser player requires an active internet connection and will stop playing if the browser window is closed or the device loses connectivity.
