Canva on Fire TV: your designs on the TV, live.
Design it in Canva. Show it on your Fire TV. PingBell connects to your Canva account from inside the board editor, imports any design as a board background, and casts it to the free PingBell app on Fire TV — with live counters, clocks, and messages on top if you want them.

The poster on the TV is the Canva design — with a live PingBell counter on top.
From Canva to Fire TV in four steps.
About two minutes the first time. Seconds after that.
- 1
Design in Canva
Menu, promo, welcome screen, price list — whatever you already make. Canva’s Presentation (16:9) size maps exactly to a TV.
- 2
Connect from the board editor
Open a board in PingBell, choose Background from Canva, click Connect Canva. One sign-in, one approve, and your design library is right there.
- 3
Pick a design, add live blocks
Click a design — it becomes the board background. Layer counters, a clock, weather, or a scrolling message on top, or leave it as pure signage.
- 4
Pair your Fire TV
Install the free PingBell app on Fire TV, enter its pairing code on your Screens page, and the design is on the wall.
Why not just cast a slideshow?
Because a slideshow needs a laptop, dies when the laptop sleeps, and can’t show today’s numbers. Signage should run itself.
No laptop behind the TV
A native Fire TV app, not a browser tab on a computer someone has to keep awake. After first pairing, the app launches straight into its assigned board on every power-on. Fire OS kiosk mode can lock the TV to PingBell.
Edit in Canva, Refresh in PingBell
Change the design in Canva, click Refresh next to the background in the board editor, and every screen showing that board updates. No download, no re-upload.
Live data on your artwork
Sales counters from Shopify, Stripe, Square, Wix, or a form; a clock; the weather; a scrolling marquee — layered on top of your Canva design. Signage that also keeps score.
Channels: rotate designs on a timer
Build a channel from several boards — menu, then specials, then the weather — and the TV rotates through them. Every board can be a different Canva design.
Unlimited screens, no per-screen fees
Every plan casts to as many TVs as you own. Pair one per wall, per room, per location.
Read-only, disconnect any time
PingBell lists your designs and imports the one you pick. It never edits, moves, or deletes anything in Canva. Disconnect Canva in one click; imported backgrounds stay on your boards.
