This article explains how to uninstall Signagelive for ChromeOS Players. Once Signagelive has been removed from the device all locally stored settings and media will be removed from it. If Signagelive was installed in kiosk mode then the ChromeOS Player will no longer auto-start Signagelive and will instead boot up into the operating system when powered on.
If you would like to reinstall Signagelive at a later time then you can by following the installation instructions shown in this Help Centre section. You will need to deactivate your Signagelive licence so that it can be activated against the new Signagelive installation.
Please Note
If you are managing your Chrome Device/s through the Chrome Device Management console then the guides below do not apply, and you can simply remove Signagelive as an application with the CDM console by changing the settings for your selected groups.
