This guide covers the tablet itself. If you haven't added your calendar and room yet, start with the Getting Started Guides.
You need a Fire tablet on Fire OS 7 or later. We recommend the Fire HD 8 or Fire HD 10; the 10-inch screen is the easiest to read from a corridor.
1. Install the app
Install Meeting Room 365 from the Amazon Appstore, open it and enter your display URL.
You don't need a keep-awake app. Version 1.0.23 and later keeps the screen on while Meeting Room 365 is open. On older versions, install Keep Screen On Free from the Appstore.
2. Make it open on boot
Fire OS has no setting for choosing a home app, so we use LauncherHijack, a free open-source utility. Allow apps from unknown sources under Settings > Security, then follow the launcher guide and pick the Meeting Room 365 launcher (app version 1.0.20 or later). The tablet then opens the app after every restart, and Home returns to it.
3. Keep it on Wi-Fi
Fire OS drops Wi-Fi when the tablet idles, and the room stops updating. Turn off Automatic Smart Suspend under Settings > Power (or Battery).
4. Silence notifications
Turn on Do Not Disturb (called Quiet Time on older Fire OS) so notifications never cover the display.
5. Lock it down
Turn on Parental Controls in Settings, set a password, and block the Appstore and web browser.
6. Mount it
Mount the tablet outside the room on a powered wall mount or charging dock so it stays charged.
Lock screen ads come with Special Offers models. Buy the tablet without them, or remove them from your Amazon account for a fee.
