With Look Digital Signage, you can launch your screens’ content using supported MacOS devices like the Apple Mac Mini.

How to Set up MacOS Devices with Look

The initial setup procedure will be similar from device to device. We recommend you set the additional configurations if you are going to use your MacOS-based device only as a digital signage media player. Follow the steps below to learn how to set the Look Player for your MacOS.

1. Disable all notifications: Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of your screen. Select System Preferences, select Notifications, and turn off notifications for each app. By that, the chances of an interruption during your digital signage use will be reduced.

2. To prevent your device from going into sleep mode during operation hours, go back into your System Preferences, choose Energy Saver, then select Power Adapter, and move the slider option to Never.

3. Download the Look Player App on your Mac device here. Select the correct version for your device — Apple Silicon or Intel. Once downloaded, move the app to your Applications folder.

4. Open Applications and run the Look Player app. On the first launch, MacOS may show a security warning — just click Open to proceed.
