Players

We recommend using player software of the same version as your CMS. The latest player software is available here.

Earlier versions of the player will connect to a v4 CMS in legacy mode.

Please note: Xibo for webOS and Xibo for Tizen players require v3 R308 and above to function with a v4 CMS. View the latest player software here.
