# GETTING STARTED WITH NNOUNCE

> [!NOTE]
> nnounce devices are configured through the nnounce user interface, accessed via a web browser on an internet-connected PC.

The **configuration User interface** is the centerpiece for all your nnounce device settings. A unified layout across nnounce devices in the UI simplifies navigation.

The currently connected device is always shown in the top left corner, with its *Dashboard* underneath.
