Managing Devices

The Devices page lets you manage ChurchAppsPlayer and FreePlay devices connected to your account. These devices are used for streaming content and displaying church media on screens at your location.

Before You Begin

  • Have a ChurchAppsPlayer device powered on and connected to the internet
  • Note the pairing code displayed on the device's screen
  • Review your profile settings if you have not already

Viewing Your Devices​

When you open the Devices page, you will see a table listing all registered devices with the following information:

  • Label -- The name you have assigned to the device.
  • Registration Date -- When the device was first paired with your account.
  • Last Active Date -- The most recent time the device connected to your account.

Adding a New Device​

  1. Click the Add Device button at the top of the Devices page.
  2. You will be prompted to enter a pairing code.
  3. Find the pairing code displayed on the ChurchAppsPlayer or FreePlay device you want to connect.
  4. Enter the code. If it's a FreePlay TV, a Show Plans For dropdown lets you pick the plan type the screen should follow — leave it on None to use the device for browsing and notifications only.
  5. Confirm. The device will appear in your devices table once successfully paired.
tip

Make sure the device is powered on and connected to the internet before attempting to pair it. The pairing code is displayed on the device's screen.

Editing a Device Label​

  1. Click the device name in the devices table.
  2. Update the label to something descriptive (for example, "Sanctuary Main Screen" or "Lobby Display").
  3. Save your changes.
tip

Using clear, descriptive labels makes it easy to identify which device is which, especially when you have multiple screens set up at your church.

Managing Device Access​

Use the Devices page to keep track of which devices have access to your church's streaming and content. If a device is no longer in use, you can remove it from your account to keep your device list clean and secure.

warning

Regularly review your connected devices to make sure only active, authorized devices are linked to your account. Remove any devices that are no longer in use to maintain security.
