Mosque Display Software: 5 Easy Steps to Get Started
Mosque display software can turn an ordinary TV into a digital prayer timetable your entire congregation can rely on.
Imagine it's Friday afternoon. Your masjid's Jumu'ah timings have changed, but the TV at the entrance still shows last week's schedule. Someone needs to find the volunteer, open the settings, and fix it.
Sound familiar? With the right system, manage Salah timings, Iqamah updates, announcements, and events from one dashboard—without manually changing every TV or buying expensive equipment.
What Is Mosque Display Software and How Does It Work?
Think of mosque display software as a digital noticeboard designed specifically for your masjid.
Instead of updating printed prayer timetables or manually changing slides, you manage everything through an online dashboard.
Your connected TV can display:
- Daily Salah and Iqamah timings
- Next-prayer countdowns
- Jumu'ah and khutbah schedules
- Community announcements and events
- Important reminders for worshippers
Update your approved prayer schedule once, and connected displays receive the change.
Explore how it works through ConnectMazjid's mosque TV display system.
How to Set Up Mosque Display Software in 5 Easy Steps
Turn an existing compatible screen into a useful community information display.
Check Your TV Compatibility
Before purchasing anything, check the TV your masjid already owns. Many mosque display software solutions support Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, or compatible Smart TV browsers.
With ConnectMazjid, install the supported TV app or visit cmzapp.com/tv through a compatible TV browser. You may not need any additional hardware.
Check these first:
- Your TV connects to the internet.
- It supports the required app or browser.
- It is visible from the intended viewing area.
- The screen resolution makes prayer timings easy to read.
Create Your Mosque Admin Account
Your Admin Portal is where you manage prayer schedules, announcements, and connected displays.
- Visit the CMZ Admin Portal.
- Create your masjid's free account.
- Enter your mosque's basic details and location.
- Open the dashboard to configure your settings.
Configure Salah and Iqamah Timings
A beautiful screen means very little if the prayer times are wrong. Accuracy comes before design.
Your software should let you manage Athan and Iqamah separately in line with your masjid's approved timetable. ConnectMazjid supports prayer calculation settings, Asr preferences, and custom Iqamah schedules. You can also upload an annual timetable using a supported spreadsheet format.
Before saving, review:
- All five daily Salah timings
- Jumu'ah and khutbah schedules
- Seasonal Iqamah changes
- Your preferred 12-hour or 24-hour format

Pair Your TV With the Admin Portal
Instead of configuring each screen separately, ConnectMazjid uses a six-digit pairing code.
- Open the CMZ TV app or supported browser page.
- Find the six-digit pairing code displayed on the TV.
- Open Connect TV in your Admin Portal.
- Select Add New TV and enter the code.
- Name the screen and complete pairing.
That's it. The TV can now show the information you configured. You can manage multiple supported screens in the prayer hall, entrance, or sisters' section through the same Admin Portal.
Customize Your Display and Test Everything
Your screen is connected—but can somebody at the back of the prayer hall read it?
Choose a theme that suits the location and screen orientation. A landscape TV inside the main hall can emphasize large prayer timings and a clear countdown. A portrait display near the entrance can make room for events and announcements.
ConnectMazjid lets you adjust available themes, colors, branding, and content.
Three checks before going live:
- Confirm Salah and Iqamah times are correct.
- Make a test update and verify that it appears on the TV.
- View the display from normal walking or seating distance.
