Where Fugo may suit you better
No product is right for everyone. Fugo is likely the better choice if:
- Your screens run from Windows, Mac or Linux computers or a Chromecast.
- You want to manage screens from Claude through its connector.
- You want stock photos, stickers and animations built into the design studio.
Moving to Dislab
- Sign up and upload your photos and videos. Dislab converts every one for TV playback.
- Plug a Fire TV stick into the TV, open Dislab, and type the code it shows into your console.
- Keep Fugo running on your other screens until you’re happy, then move them one by one.
