This article will show you how to turn your tablet into a DAKboard Display with your Tablet.

Link the Tablet with your DAKboard Account:

In your DAKboard account, go to Displays & Devices, click the Add button, and give the device a name. You can then set which screen you want to view and save the device. See below:

On your Tablet, open a browser and navigate to DAKboard.com/link. This will supply you with the Link Code you will need for the Display you just created. Go back to Display & Devices in your account, click the three dots to the right of the device, and select Link with Device or TV. Here, enter the Link Code in the space provided and save your changes. Your Browser on your tablet will now load your selected Screen. Make sure you bookmark this URL to access your Screen again.

Some Tablets will allow you to set a Bookmarked page as an Icon on your home screen. If you can do this, you can put this page on your Home Page for quicker access. Depending on your Browser, you may be able to set it to Fullscreen mode when it opens to hide your URL bar.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Below are the most Frequently Asked Questions about how to use DAKboard on a Tablet:

What Tablets can you use as a DAKboard Display?

Any tablet that has an internet connection and an up-to-date web browser can be used as a DAKboard display.

Why won't my DAKboard Screen work on my Tablet?

DAKboard and all available web browsers are updated regularly to keep content secure and support new features. If your Tablet is no longer able to download the latest browser updates, DAKboard screen URLs may not display properly. If your Tablet's browser can no longer be updated, you can try downloading Chrome and use that for as long as you can update the Chrome browser on your Tablet.

What can I do if the Tablet won't link to a Display?

For users unable to link their browsers to DAKboard as described above, you can always enter your Custom Screen's URL manually into your TV browser, or log into your account from your Tablet browser and choose View on the screen you wish to run on the TV. Once this is entered, bookmark the URL for quicker access the next time you use it this way. See our article Using DAKboard Private URLs to learn more.

Why does my screen look different on my Tablet than it does in my Screen Editor?

Most Tablets will limit the Maximum Resolution their browsers will support. This means that they will not use the Maximum Resolution of your Tablet's screen. See our article How to Get Your Screen to Fit Your Browser to learn how to determine the Maximum Resolution your browser allows and how to make your Screen fit it.
