# Obscreen > Obscreen is a digital signage platform that organizes media and broadcasts it to TVs, monitors, tablets and web browsers. Screens are managed from a central dashboard called Obscreen Studio and display content through Obscreen Player apps or any web browser. Studio runs either on Obscreen Cloud (managed hosting) or self-hosted on the customer's own server. ## Key facts - Obscreen has two components: Obscreen Studio, the management server where content, playlists, slides and screens are configured, and Obscreen Player, the client that displays playlists on a screen. - Deployment is either Obscreen Cloud (managed, no maintenance, automatic updates, hosting included) or self-hosted with Docker on the customer's own server. - No proprietary hardware is required. Obscreen works with consumer-grade players and standard web browsers, and a screen can be set up in under 2 minutes without installing an app on browsers. - Supported players: Android, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, web browser, Raspberry Pi, Linux, macOS, Windows and LG webOS. A native Samsung Tizen player is presented on the platforms page and is listed in the documentation as awaiting final validation. iOS and Apple TV players are coming soon. - Content types include images, videos, URLs, HTML pages, PDF, YouTube videos, texts, dynamic texts, data sources, composed scenes ("Draw your scene"), nested playlists and camera live streaming. - Slides can be scheduled by loop, date range or weekly schedule, and screens can be managed remotely as a fleet. - Studio includes authentication, roles and permissions, a REST API, an n8n integration and an MCP server so AI assistants can manage contents, folders, playlists and slides. - The interface is available in 17 languages. - Cloud pricing: Basic Cloud costs $3 per month and Premium Cloud $9 per month. Both include 2 screens, then $2 per additional screen per month, and allow commercial use. - Self-hosted pricing: Basic Desktop costs $30 and Premium Desktop $120, as a one-time purchase. Both include 2 screens, then $2 per additional screen per month. Basic Desktop is for personal use only; Premium Desktop allows commercial use. Both offer a 7-day trial without a credit card. - Basic plans include 5 playlists, images, videos, URLs, authentication, roles and permissions, and play on the web player only. - Premium plans add unlimited playlists, HTML pages, PDF, YouTube, texts, scene drawing, nested playlists, fleet management, the REST API, dynamic texts, data sources, priority support and every native player platform. Camera live streaming is included on self-hosted Premium and available as an option on Premium Cloud. - Solo is a free self-hosted plan for limited needs (1 screen, 1 playlist, personal use only, no fleet management or REST API), announced in May 2026. It is issued as a free license to a registered Obscreen account and has no card on the pricing page. - Self-hosted Studio runs with Docker on the customer's server or on a Raspberry Pi. Its license file renews automatically online, and a fully offline license is available on request. - White labeling, full offline mode, volume discounts, custom support and custom terms are available on request through the contact page. Students and associations can also ask for help finding a solution. - Self-hosted Studio needs a license file (obscreen.lic). The Obscreen Private License (OBPLv1) allows personal or internal business use and forbids offering Obscreen as a hosted service to third parties. - The server needs an internet connection; an offline mode is available on request. - Obscreen Cloud runs on infrastructure hosted in the European Union (Hetzner, Germany). - Obscreen is used in more than 30 countries by public institutions, manufacturers, retail networks, universities, museums and independent teams.

See https://docs.obscreen.com/install/studio-server/docker and https://docs.obscreen.com/deployment-types. - Self-hosted Studio requires a license file (obscreen.lic), downloaded from your Obscreen account and uploaded to Studio at first run or mounted in its license directory. A license key is valid for one instance only (one container, process or virtual machine). - Plans are bought once ("one time"). The 2 included screens are covered by that purchase; each additional screen is billed $2 per month. - The license file has an expiry date and is renewed automatically when Studio can reach the Obscreen license server, which is why the server needs an internet connection. A fully offline license (license-local.key) is available on request. - Your content and data stay on your own infrastructure; you choose where it runs. - Basic Desktop is for personal use only. Commercial use requires Premium Desktop. - Both paid self-hosted plans can be tried for 7 days without a credit card. - The self-hosted software is licensed under the Obscreen Private License (OBPLv1): personal or internal business use, no modification, and no resale as a hosted service. Notes from the pricing page: - An internet connection is required for the server. An offline mode is available on request. - Obscreen aims to be an affordable, scalable, and customizable solution.

Yes, you can install both the Studio and Player on a single device, such as a Raspberry Pi connected to a TV. For more information, please refer to the [deployment types](https://docs.obscreen.com/deployment-types) section of the documentation. ### Can I use a Smart TV without a Raspberry Pi? Yes. Depending on the brand, you have several options: - **LG commercial displays**: install the native [Obscreen Player for LG webOS](https://docs.obscreen.com/install/player-client/lg-webos). - **Samsung commercial displays**: the native [Samsung Tizen](https://docs.obscreen.com/install/player-client/samsung-tizen) app is coming soon. - **Any other Smart TV with a built-in browser**: open the playlist URL directly in the TV's web browser. See the [Generic Smart TV](https://docs.obscreen.com/install/player-client/generic-smart-tv) page. ### How do I install Obscreen on a Raspberry Pi? First, check out [deployment section](https://docs.obscreen.com/deployment-types) of the documentation. After you chose the type of installation, you'll find the instructions to [install](https://docs.obscreen.com/install) Obscreen on a Raspberry Pi ### How does the fleet screen management feature work? The fleet screen management feature allows you to manage multiple screens from a central location. It is designed to work with the Obscreen Player installed on each screen. Check out the [fleet management feature](https://docs.obscreen.com/features/players/fleet-screen-management) section of the documentation to learn more. ### Does Obscreen support video autoplay? Yes, Obscreen supports video autoplay but be aware that it requires [some configuration](https://docs.obscreen.com/faq#why-aren-t-the-video-starting-automatically). ### Why aren't the video starting automatically? This is "normal" behavior. Videos do not play automatically in Chrome because it requires user interaction with the page (a simple click inside the webpage is enough). If you open the console, you'll see the error: [Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first...](https://goo.gl/xX8pDD) To resolve this, you need to use the Chrome flag `--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required`. If your player is a Raspberry Pi with Obscreen Player installed, this issue doesn't occur because the flag is inserted automatically for you, otherwise you need to add it manually by yourself. ### What kind of API does Obscreen offer for developers? Obscreen offers a REST API to control contents, playlist and slides in Studio instance. You can find the documentation [here](https://docs.obscreen.com/features/advanced/api). ### I'm locked out of the Studio because I forgot my password. How can I reset it? You have to start Studio with `SAFE_MODE=true` environment variable to bypass login and be able to reset the password. ## Blog Source: https://obscreen.io/blog ### Connect Your AI Assistant to Obscreen Studio with MCP Published November 01, 2026. Source: https://obscreen.io/blog/connect-ai-assistant-obscreen-studio-mcp Managing digital signage is becoming more conversational. Obscreen Studio now supports the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, allowing compatible AI assistants to connect directly to your Studio and help manage everyday tasks through natural-language requests. Instead of navigating through multiple screens for every action, you can ask an assistant to organize content, update playlists, schedule slides, or retrieve information from your Studio. #### What Is MCP? MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants interact securely with external tools and services. For Obscreen users, this means an MCP-compatible assistant can understand the actions available in Studio and perform them on your behalf, while respecting your account access and permissions. The goal is simple: make screen management faster and more accessible without replacing the Studio interface you already know. #### Manage Studio Through Conversation Once connected, an AI assistant can help you work with: - **Contents and media folders** - **Playlists** - **Slides and their positions** - **Display durations** - **Loop, date and weekly schedules** - **Notifications** - **Player refresh actions** For example, you could ask: - “Create a playlist for the reception screen.” - “Add this image to the campaign folder.” - “Schedule the promotion from Monday morning until Friday evening.” - “Move these contents into the Events folder.” - “Disable the second slide and refresh the players.” The assistant translates the request into Studio actions, reducing repetitive clicks and making complex workflows easier to handle. #### Easier Content Imports The MCP integration can also create content from supported sources, including public file URLs. This is especially useful when an image, video, PDF, or other media file already exists online. The assistant can retrieve it and add it to the requested Studio folder, without requiring a separate manual download and upload workflow. #### Secure Account Connection The connection uses a secure authorization flow. Before an assistant can access Studio, the user must sign in and approve the connection. Read and write permissions are handled separately, so the integration only receives the level of access required for the requested actions. The connection can also be revoked when it is no longer needed. #### More Than a Chat Interface MCP opens the door to more advanced workflows across AI assistants and automation tools. Teams can use it to: - Prepare playlists from a simple brief - Organize large content libraries - Apply scheduling instructions consistently - Build internal assistants for recurring signage operations - Combine Obscreen with other connected business tools This creates a flexible bridge between your screens, your content, and the growing ecosystem of AI-powered applications. #### Additional Studio Improvements Recent Studio updates also include several quality-of-life improvements: - **Faster cloud content downloads:** files stored on Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 can now be downloaded more directly, reducing unnecessary processing through the Studio server. - **More reliable infinite slides:** slides configured with infinite duration remain active without unexpected timer transitions. - **Improved authentication behavior:** protected Studio areas now handle authentication states more consistently. - **Cleaner user management:** usernames are automatically cleaned of accidental spaces when users are created or updated. #### A New Way to Operate Digital Signage The Studio interface remains the central place to visually manage Obscreen. MCP adds another way to work: faster, conversational, and ready for automation. Whether you manage a single screen or a larger fleet, AI assistants can now help turn everyday instructions into real Studio actions. ### Camera & Live Streaming for Smarter Digital Signage Published June 05, 2026. Source: https://obscreen.io/blog/camera-live-streaming-for-digital-signage Some content is more valuable when it is live. With **Camera & Live Streaming**, Obscreen lets you display real-time video feeds directly inside your digital signage playlists. Whether you need to show a security camera, a production line, a public webcam, a live event, or an internal broadcast, your screens can now become real-time information points. #### Display Live Camera Feeds Obscreen supports live feeds from: - **IP cameras** - **NVR systems** - **Web streams** - **RTSP, RTMP, HLS, HTTP-FLV and other compatible sources** - **FFmpeg-readable sources**, such as USB cameras, local files, screen captures, or transcoded streams This makes it possible to reuse existing video infrastructure without rebuilding your setup from scratch. #### Built for Digital Signage Live streams can be integrated like any other advanced content type in Obscreen. You can use them to: - Show a live camera feed on a screen - Include a stream inside a playlist - Combine live video with other visual content - Display operational, public-facing, or monitoring content in real time The goal is simple: make live content easy to publish, manage, and display across your screen fleet. #### Smart Streaming Under the Hood Behind the scenes, Obscreen uses an embedded streaming engine to ingest live feeds and redistribute them to players. Depending on the device, Obscreen can adapt playback using technologies such as: - **MSE** - **HLS** - **MJPEG** This helps improve compatibility across different player environments while keeping the experience as seamless as possible for users. #### Advanced Source Options For more advanced setups, Obscreen also supports additional stream sources. These can be useful for: - Audio transcoding - Adaptive playback - FFmpeg filters - Stream conversion - Device-specific compatibility adjustments For example, a technical team can configure a stream so that it better matches the audio or video capabilities of the target player. #### Use Cases Camera & Live Streaming is especially useful for: - **Retail:** display live product demos, store cameras, or event feeds - **Industry:** monitor production lines or operational areas - **Education:** broadcast conferences, lectures, or campus feeds - **Hospitality:** show live views, webcams, or venue information - **Security & supervision:** centralize visual monitoring on dedicated screens - **Public spaces:** broadcast live events, ceremonies, or local information #### A Premium Feature for Advanced Displays Camera & Live Streaming is part of Obscreen’s advanced feature set and is available with the **Premium** plan. It is designed for organizations that need more than static content: real-time visibility, operational awareness, and dynamic communication across multiple screens.

This makes it much easier to reuse existing documents such as menus, schedules, brochures, internal notices, or presentations. - **Per-Video Mute Control** Videos can now be muted individually, offering more precise audio control. Previously, mute settings were managed at the full playlist level. With this update, users can now decide exactly which videos should play with or without sound, directly within their content setup. - **Player Controls** Player controls have been improved for manual playlist navigation. To keep the display clean and distraction-free, these controls automatically hide after **5 minutes of inactivity**, ensuring they remain useful when needed without interfering with the on-screen experience. #### Obscreen.com Obscreen.com also received several updates to make account management easier and improve product discovery for new visitors. - **Simplified Billing Access** Invoice management has been simplified. Invoices are now available in the same place as licence and cloud instance information, making it easier for users to find all billing and subscription-related details from one central location. - **New Landing Pages** New landing pages have been added to better present Obscreen’s capabilities, including: - supported platforms, - sector-specific use cases, - clearer product discovery for different types of customers. These pages help visitors better understand how Obscreen can fit their specific environment, industry, and deployment needs. ### Release v2026.1.2 - Preview Mode, Playback Controls & Playgroup State Published January 21, 2026.

Source: https://obscreen.io/blog/migration As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the quality and reliability of our services, we recently migrated our servers to a new, more modern architecture designed to be significantly more fault-tolerant. This technical upgrade ensures better service availability, even in the event of hardware or software incidents. With this enhanced infrastructure, we are now better equipped to provide our users with a more stable, secure, and high-performance environment over the long term. That being said, as with any large-scale operation, this transition may have caused some temporary disruptions. We identified that certain licenses were not immediately migrated to the new authorization list, which may have led to service interruptions for some users. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our technical team quickly identified and resolved the issue, and full access to the affected services has been restored. If you have any questions or are still experiencing access issues, please do not hesitate to contact our technical support team. ### Release v2025.6.1 - Dashboard Map & PostgreSQL support Published June 04, 2025.

Source: https://obscreen.io/blog/platform #### Obscreen is now a platform! Obscreen is now a fully autonomous platform for digital signage. With the release of both **Desktop** and **Cloud Editions**, we're offering unprecedented flexibility and scalability to meet all your digital content broadcasting needs. Whether you're deploying signage on a local Raspberry Pi or using the built-in browser of a Smart TV, Obscreen’s capabilities now extend to suit a wide range of environments, making it a powerful tool for content delivery across any setup. #### A Brief Recap: How Obscreen Works For those new to Obscreen, here's a quick rundown of how it operates: - **Studio:** The heart of Obscreen, managing content distribution. Installed on Linux, Windows, or macOS, the Studio generates a JSON file containing the content for the Player to display. - **Player:** A lightweight script that runs on Chromium via X11, fetching updated content every 5 seconds from the server’s JSON file. It can be installed on a Raspberry Pi connected to a TV, or it can leverage the native browser of a Smart TV for a plug-and-play experience. Originally, Obscreen was designed to be a one-stop solution for Raspberry Pi installations connected to display monitors. However, the flexibility of the platform allows users to run the server and player on separate devices, and now, thanks to these new editions, the possibilities are broader than ever. #### Introducing Desktop Edition: Flexibility for Local Deployments The **Desktop Edition** of Obscreen is a self-hosted version that comes in two variants: - **Basic Desktop Edition:** This version includes all the core functionality needed to run Obscreen on your own infrastructure. Perfect for smaller deployments, it allows users to set up a content management server on their local machine or network while managing the Player on separate devices like Raspberry Pis or Smart TVs. - **Premium Desktop Edition:** Unlock more advanced features with the Premium version. It’s ideal for businesses or institutions that need additional functionality, such as multi-user management, advanced scheduling, and expanded content formats. With this version, your digital signage operations can scale more easily while staying fully under your control. #### Cloud Edition: Obscreen from Anywhere, Anytime Our most exciting development is the introduction of **Obscreen Cloud**, which makes it easier than ever to deploy and manage content remotely without the need for on-premise servers. With the same split between **Basic** and **Premium Editions**, users can choose the package that best suits their needs: - **Basic Cloud Edition:** Enjoy simple, hassle-free cloud deployment of Obscreen Studio, making it easier to manage content from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection (offline mode is available on request), and the player can run on any device with a browser. - **Premium Cloud Edition:** Access advanced cloud-based features like multi-location content broadcasting, priority support, and expanded content formats. Whether you’re managing screens in a single office or across multiple countries, the Premium Cloud Edition offers the ultimate in scalability. #### What's Next? While Obscreen is already a powerful, standalone platform, we know there are still some manual tasks involved, such as content scheduling and updates. Rest assured, we’re committed to automating these processes in future updates, ensuring an even more seamless user experience. Our roadmap includes automatic content scheduling, enhanced multi-user collaboration tools, and more integration with third-party services to offer a holistic digital signage solution. With these new products, whether you're running everything locally or opting for a fully cloud-hosted solution, Obscreen now provides a seamless way to manage and display content. ### New landing page and documentation Published September 08, 2024.

Payment and License Obscreen is a paid application that may require the purchase of a license to continue use after the completion of the free trial period. By purchasing a license, you agree to pay the applicable fees for the selected subscription plan. You are responsible for providing accurate payment information and keeping it up-to-date. To purchase or license Obscreen, the Customer must submit an online order or issue a Purchase Order. If requested by Obscreen, the Purchase Order must be signed, or in the case of electronic submissions, it should be transmitted by the Customer or their authorized representative to verify identity. Any conditions specified in an electronically placed order or Purchase Order will not be binding on Obscreen. The terms outlined in the Terms of Service take precedence, regardless of any differing or additional terms included in a Purchase Order or other communication from the Customer to Obscreen. Any such additional or conflicting terms are considered rejected unless Obscreen expressly provides written approval. The Customer's payment will be confirmed through a standard acknowledgment process via a third-party payment processor selected by Obscreen, currently Stripe®. Presently, Obscreen accepts credit card payments for licenses. However, Obscreen does not take responsibility for confirming payment acknowledgments. When visiting the Obscreen order page, the Customer may be prompted to provide payment information in order to download a trial version of Obscreen (excluding hardware package purchases). A trial version is free but may require the Customer to provide payment information as they could be automatically charged for the full version once the trial expires, and a license will be issued. The Customer can cancel a trial at any point during a trial period to avoid being charged after the trial ends. Also, take note that the Free version of Obscreen is for personal use only and not for distribution. ### 12. Subscription and Renewals We may offer subscription plans for Obscreen, which may include monthly or annual payment options. By choosing a subscription plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees for the selected plan. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for the renewal fees unless you cancel your subscription before the renewal date. Subject to Obscreen’s credit approval process, payment will be processed once the Customer connects their first server with Obscreen. Prior to connecting a server, the Customer may upload assets, but these assets will not be displayed until the server is connected and payment has been successfully processed. Payments must be made in the currency indicated on Obscreen’s website or in a local currency if both Obscreen and the Customer agree to such terms. If a payment fails or is rejected, and the Customer’s assets have already been uploaded, displayed, or supported, Obscreen reserves the right to immediately halt the display and discontinue support for those assets until the payment is resolved. In such cases, Obscreen may consider the Customer to be in breach of the current agreement, and without prior notice, may erase the Customer’s assets and permanently revoke access to Obscreen’s services. ### 13. Refunds Any subscription plan is non-refundable. If a Customer cancels a subscription during the current billing period, no prorated refunds for the remaining time will be issued. The subscription will remain active until the end of the service period but will not be renewed. However, we may offer refunds for license purchases at our sole discretion. To request a refund, please contact us at hello@obscreen.io with your purchase details and the reason for your refund request. We reserve the right to deny refund requests if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the request is fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise not in compliance with these Terms without any further explanation. ### 14. Account and Device Restrictions Users may not create more than one account or use multiple devices to circumvent licensing restrictions. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend any accounts or devices found to be in violation of these restrictions. ### 15. Uploads Obscreen does not guarantee the successful or complete upload of Customer assets or that such assets will be fully compatible with the Obscreen platform. Additionally, Obscreen cannot assure that assets will display as expected within a playlist or appear as intended on any device. Customers should avoid uploading assets that are completely unique and have no backup copies elsewhere, as files may be altered during the upload or display process.

Fair Use Policy Obscreen provides storage for media files, including photos, videos, or URLs, that are intended for use in digital signage. To ensure adequate storage space for all customers, Obscreen restricts media uploads to files intended for digital signage use only. If Obscreen determines that a Customer is using storage space for files unrelated to digital signage, it reserves the right to limit the storage available to that Customer by removing files. Under typical conditions, Customers will have sufficient storage for files used specifically for digital signage purposes. ### 17.
