Use a Windows PC as a shop screen
OutDeck Player for Windows turns a Windows 10 or 11 PC into a shop screen, so a mini PC behind a monitor or a spare desktop can play your menus and promotions. Download it from our website, sign in on the screen, pick the shop and a playlist, and it starts playing. You manage it from the same dashboard as your TVs.

Where does a Windows PC work as a shop screen?
Wherever a monitor or TV is already wired to a computer, or where a small PC is easier to fit than an Android TV box.
- A mini PC behind a menu board monitor.
- A spare desktop driving a screen at reception.
- A PC already connected to a display in a showroom.
How do I set up a Windows PC as a screen?
- Download OutDeck Player for Windows from this page and run the installer on the PC.
- If Windows says the app is from an unknown publisher, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Open OutDeck Player and sign in with your OutDeck account. If you have just signed up, open the link we emailed you first.
- Pick the shop, then a playlist. The screen pairs itself and starts playing.
Can I pair a Windows PC with a code instead?
Yes. Choose Pair with a code instead and the screen shows an 8-character code and a QR code, the same as a TV. In your dashboard, open Devices, press Add screen, type the code and pick the shop.
Use a code if your OutDeck account has more than one business. Signing in on the screen cannot choose between businesses yet, so it shows no shops for those accounts.
What should I know before I use a Windows PC?
- It needs a 64-bit PC running Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11.
- Each PC runs one screen and counts as one screen on your plan, the same as a TV.
- Signing in on the screen works for accounts with one business. Otherwise, pair with a code.
- In the Windows power settings, set the screen and the PC to never turn off or go to sleep.
