The app is built to run reliably in unattended environments and automatically launch on device startup, ensuring signage remains always on and up to date.

Does the app require an internet connection?
Yes. An internet connection is required for:
- Initial device authentication
- Ongoing content syncing
- Receiving updates and changes from the Vibe platform
Is the app suitable for unattended or kiosk-style setups?
Yes. The app is designed for unattended environments and runs full‑screen to deliver a dedicated digital signage experience.
Can I use existing Windows devices for signage?
Yes—Vibe is commonly used to repurpose existing Windows PCs or mini-PCs as signage players. For best results, devices should be configured for dedicated, always-on use.
What happens if the device restarts?
As long as the device is configured correctly, signage will return without manual intervention. The app is designed to:
- Auto-launch on startup
- Resume playback automatically
Can I control or update content remotely?
Yes—all content is managed centrally in Vibe.
Once the device is connected:
- Content updates automatically
- Playlists and schedules sync in real time
- No on-site changes are required
Can I use an existing office PC for signage?
Yes—but it depends on how the device is used. Best practice:
- Use dedicated devices where possible
- If repurposing a PC, ensure it’s not used for day-to-day work
- Configure it for always-on, unattended operation
How secure is the Windows Digital Signage App?
The app connects securely to Vibe and only displays assigned content. Security is typically managed through:
- Your organisation’s device policies (e.g. Intune, AD)
- Controlled user access on the device
- Network-level security controls
How do I prevent screens from going to sleep or interrupting playback?
This is managed through Windows device settings, not Vibe directly. Recommended setup uninterrupted signage playback:
- Disable sleep and screen timeout
- Manage power settings for continuous operation
- Control Windows Updates to avoid unexpected restarts
