# Pairing a Display in Skykit Beam

Before you can play content on your display, you need to pair it with Skykit Beam.

## Pairing a Display

1. In Beam, select **Displays** from the navigation bar. The **Displays** menu opens.
2. Select **Pair Display** **in the top right corner of the window.**![Displays dashboard lists digital screens, showing one online display and several displays last seen previously.](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%2011.51.25%E2%80%AFAM.png)

Don't see the Pair Display button?

Only Tenant Admins and Account Owners have access to this functionality.

The **Pair a Display** window opens.

3. In the **Enter a pairing code** field, enter the pairing code you see when you first turn on your player.

The **Displays** detail window for the newly paired display opens, showing its status, serial number, and ID number.
4. Enter a name for the display in the **Title** field.
5. Select the back arrow to return to the **Displays** menu. The new display is now included at the top of the list.

What will play a newly paired Display?

The Tenant Default Content, which is either a Program or Playlist automatically created at the time of Tenant creation will play. If you would like to change the Default Content for your Tenant, this can be done on the [Tenants page in Accounts](/v1/docs/understanding-tenants).

## Next Steps

Now that your display is paired with Beam, you can [publish content](/v1/docs/publishing-content-to-a-display) and [set up fallback actions](/v1/docs/setting-up-fallback-actions).
