For compatible digital signage displays playing HTV, look out for a black bar across the bottom with an IP Address and 4-digit Screen Key passcode.

These displays are around campus and are free for staff or students to use anytime to display their content on the big screen.  When you are done sharing content and disconnect, the display will resume playing HumberTV content.

Almost any mobile device with WiFi and web browsing will work.  If your device is not listed try using ‘Other’.
