Getting Started FAQs
What is the Yodeck Web Player?
Think of the Web Player as a way to get Yodeck digital signage on your screens. Specifically, if a device, such as a tablet or PC, has a Chrome-based web browser, including Chrome, Chromium and Edge, then the Web Player can turn it into a Yodeck-powered digital signage screen.
Essentially, the Web Player lets you playback content without an external Yodeck Player. However, it doesn’t offer the same kind of super-robust, super-reliable enterprise-grade solution you get with our Raspberry Pi Yodeck Player. We have thoroughly tested the RPi Player. Therefore, we guarantee it performs stellarly as a digital signage player. Our trusty little Raspberry Pi Player also provides device management and control – something that the Web Player can’t do.
We created the Web Player because it offers easy setup and deployment. Some of you need that extra “magic” from our Raspberry Pi Players, while others won’t. So now the choice is up to you!
