Where ScreenCloud may suit you better
No product is right for everyone. ScreenCloud is likely the better choice if:
- Your screens are Samsung or LG smart TVs, Windows or Mac computers, Chromebooks or BrightSign players.
- You need audit logs and custom permissions for a larger team.
- You want unlimited storage, or a player box from the same company.
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 ScreenCloud running on your other screens until you’re happy, then move them one by one.
