Pair with your TV
Keep both devices on the same local network. Open Placard on the TV and choose Pair phone. In Placard Remote, choose Enter TV code and enter the six-digit code.
Make your playlist

07 / Good to know
Before you
set up your screen.
Does the TV need internet all day?
No. Once your content is saved on the TV, playback works without internet. Pairing and sending new content require the phone and TV to be on the same local network. Installing the apps, buying Pro and restoring a purchase require store access.
Will it start automatically after a power cut?
After restarting the TV, open Placard to resume the saved playlist. Keep Placard open while playing your display. Device power-saving settings can also affect playback.
Can I update a TV from another location?
Content updates happen on the local network where the TV is installed. Placard does not include a cloud dashboard for updating screens at another location.
Which files and devices can I use?
Use JPEG, PNG or WebP images and supported MP4 videos; video playback requires Pro and depends on the TV’s decoder. Placard Remote prepares selected media for transfer. The TV app supports compatible Android TV 8.0+ and Google TV devices; the companion needs an Android 8.0+ phone or tablet. Check Google Play for your device’s compatibility.
Is Placard Remote a screen-mirroring app?
Placard Remote prepares and sends playlists to the separate Placard TV app. It does not mirror your phone’s screen or act as a general-purpose TV remote. Your phone can disconnect after the transfer finishes.
