# Set up browser playback

### How browser playback works

Browser playback connects your screen to Buzzblender through the web player at [**play.buzzblender.com**](https://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.

### Set up a browser screen

1. Open[ **play.buzzblender.com**](https://play.buzzblender.com/) in your browser.
2. The page displays a **device code** and **Device ID**. Note the device code.
3. Go to [**app.buzzblender.com/device**](https://app.buzzblender.com/device) in a separate browser tab or on another device.
4. Sign in to your Buzzblender account if prompted.
5. Enter the device code from the browser player page.
6. The browser player will confirm authorization and begin showing your content.

### Tips for running browser playback

* 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.

### When to use browser 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.
