Set up the Slidecrew Web App by opening its address in Chrome or Edge, choosing a screen and pairing that screen with your event.
Short answer: The Web App runs in a Chromium-based browser, so nothing needs to be installed. Open the Web Apps page, choose one of its six screens, then pair that screen in Core → Devices using its six-digit code or QR code. After pairing, it opens for the room assigned to the device.
What you need before setup
Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on the display device. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
Because the Web App runs in a browser, you don’t need to install software.
Open the Web Apps screen and choose an app
Open https://app.slidecrew.com/webapp/ in Chrome or Edge, then click the app you want to run on the Slidecrew Web Apps screen. You can also open the page from the Dashboard Tools widget by selecting Web Apps (For use on Chromium).

Pair the selected screen with your event
After you choose an app, its pairing screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code. Pair that screen through the portal.
To pair by code, open Core → Devices in the portal and click the red add button to open the New Device sidebar. Enter the six-digit code in Device Code.
To pair by QR code, scan the QR code with a mobile device. Log in to the portal if prompted. The portal opens at Core → Devices with the New Device sidebar open and Device Code filled in.
Complete the fields in the New Device sidebar. The device’s assigned Device Default Style controls the appearance of its apps. Click away from the last field to create and pair the device. There is no Save button.
The Device Code field takes the six-digit code shown on the Web App pairing screen.
