You will be asked to log into an Amazon or Google account or create a new one as part of the setup process. There will also likely be some software updates available after you connect the device for the first time. We recommend you download these updates before installing the Sign Presenter app.

There are two ways to install the Sign Presenter application on the Fire Stick. The first is from the device itself, click the “Search” icon in the top left corner and type in or say “Sign Presenter”.

The second way is from your browser. Go to the Sign Presenter app page in the Amazon app store or Sign Presenter app page in the Google Play Store. Select the device you wish to deliver the app to and click the deliver link. It should show up on your player home screen a few minutes later.
