On Air Sign with a Spare Phone

Why use a spare phone as an on air sign?

Many creators and remote workers have an older phone sitting in a drawer. With OnAirSign.live, that device can become a dedicated recording in progress sign or busy light.

• Reuse hardware you already own.
• Small footprint, easy to place on a desk or by a door.
• Battery or plugged-in use, depending on your setup.

How to set up an on air sign with a spare phone

1. Charge your old phone and connect it to Wi-Fi.
2. Open the browser and log into OnAirSign.live.
3. Navigate to your on air sign viewer link.
4. Set the screen timeout to be as long as you need while recording.
5. Place the phone where people can see your ON AIR / OFF AIR state.

From that point on, you can control the sign from your main device while the spare phone acts as a dedicated on air display.

Door, desk, or wall-mounted

Mount your spare phone by your studio door, keep it on a small stand on your desk, or attach it to a wall where people pass by. OnAirSign.live works anywhere the phone has a browser and a network connection.
