Full instructions and troubleshooting
To set up the Fusion Signage web player:
- Download a browser capable of running in kiosk mode.
- Set the URL to: https://player.fusionsignage.com.au/
Recommended browser: we suggest using the Chrome browser for optimal performance, as most of our testing is conducted on it. Chrome's kiosk mode feature makes it easy to run the Fusion Signage web player seamlessly. Handy tip: if you plan to use the web player long-term, consider installing one of our dedicated player applications compatible with your operating system or device manufacturer. These apps generally offer better playback quality and more reliable support.
Example for Windows
- Download Chrome.
- Create a desktop shortcut to Chrome (or edit the one created during installation).
- Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.
- In the Target field, append the following: --kiosk https://player.fusionsignage.com.au/ So it should look like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk https://player.fusionsignage.com.au/
Tip: ensure the path matches your Chrome installation location on your system.
- Click OK to save.
- Copy this shortcut to your Windows startup folder to launch automatically on boot. Access this folder via:
- Start > Run > Shell:Startup
- Or press Windows Key + R, then type Shell:Startup.
