Publish content and create interactive experiences with Appspace and Samsung devices on the Samsung Smart Signage Platform (SSSP) Tizen. Ideal for digital signage, kiosks, enterprise TV, and room scheduling.

Download the Appspace App for Devices and register your compatible Samsung SMART Signage Platform Tizen device to get started. You can even use the TV remote to control your Appspace content.

This article provides instructions to configure and register Samsung Smart Signage Platform (SSSP) 6.0 Tizen v4 devices with Appspace App.

Prerequisites

  • An Account Owner or Location Admin user role with the Platform User license assigned.

  • Ensure the device meets the manufacturer’s minimum hardware and technical specifications, as per our Supported Devices and Operating Systems article
