Set up​

When you open the Trivory for TVs program for the first time, a fullscreen window will open on every display that is connected to your PC. If you have multiple displays, you can configure each display independently.

For each display that you want to use:

  1. Click "Yes, set up this display"
  2. Enter a setup code (each display needs its own setup code)
    • If you don't already have a setup code then click here to learn how to generate one.

On any displays that you don't want to use, click "No, don't ask again"

Once you're all done, click here to go to Step 3: Adjust display options for the TV.

Things to note​

  • Once you have set up at least one display, Trivory for TVs will configure itself to automatically start whenever the computer turns on and you log in. To change this, click the three dots in the top right corner, and then click "Turn on/off automatic start".
  • The Trivory for TVs program will display itself above all other programs. This is to prevent other windows or popups from covering up the display.
  • To exit the Trivory for TVs program, click the red X in the top right corner, or press ALT + F4 on your keyboard.
  • If you click "No, don't ask again" on one of several displays but later change your mind, or if you want to change the order of multiple displays:
    • Click the three dots in the top right corner on any of the set up displays, and then click "Restart setup for all displays".
    • This will re-open the setup screen on all displays, giving you another opportunity to pick which displays to set up.
    • After clicking "Yes, set up this display" on any display, you will get to choose from one of the already linked displays, or link a new one.
