# Install and pair

Install Tilecast Player on the display, then approve it in Studio. Pairing gives the Player its own credential and adds it to your installation as a screen.

## Install a Player

Choose the guide for the display's platform. If you are not sure which platform your hardware supports, compare the [Player capability matrix](../capabilities/) first.

[Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV](../install-android/)
  [Linux](../install-linux/)
  [Windows (preview preparation)](../install-windows/)
  [Browser Player](../install-browser/)
  [Tilecast Edge](../../edge/)
[Apple TV support](../apple-tv/) explains why Tilecast Player doesn't run on Apple TV.

## Pair or replace a screen

If a Player can't find or reach the server, see [Check that Players can reach the server](../../setup/network-readiness/) and [Pairing and connectivity](../../troubleshooting/pairing-connectivity/).
