Getting Started

VarsitySync lets schools, teams, and organizations display digital signage content on Apple TV, Fire TV, and web browsers using a simple display code.

How it works

• Create a Free VarsitySync account on our website.
• Create a screen and assign media such as PNG, JPG, MP4, or Google Slides.
• A unique display code is generated for each screen.
• Download the FREE VarsitySync app on Amazon Firestick App Store or Apple TVOS App Store.
• Enter the display code in the VarsitySync app on your device.
• The content loads and plays automatically.

No purchases or subscriptions occur inside the tvOS/firestick app. Any optional subscriptions are managed separately on the website.

Troubleshooting

Display code not loading

• Verify the six character code is entered correctly on the device.
• Confirm the screen is active in your VarsitySync dashboard.
• Check that the device has an active internet connection.
• Restart the VarsitySync app and enter the code again.

Slides or videos not updating

• Refresh or update the screen in your VarsitySync account.
• Wait a few minutes for cached content to refresh.
• Confirm the media file is correctly assigned to the screen.

Google Slides not showing

• Make sure the Google Slides presentation is set to “Anyone with the link can view”.
• Confirm the link you pasted in VarsitySync is correct and active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to use the app?

The tvOS/firestick app itself does not require a login. You only need a display code that was created on the VarsitySync website. Easy as Pie!

Do I have to pay to use VarsitySync?

A display code can be created for free. Organizations may choose to subscribe on the website for additional screens or features, but no purchases happen inside the app.

Can I manage my screens inside the app?

Screen management happens on the VarsitySync website. The tvOS and Fire TV apps are display players only.
