Select an unassigned device from the list, and tap/click the Assign Device in the action bar.

Click the (...) on the top right corner of the DEVICES panel to either add device config or update the devices.

Note:

Every time the first device is added to a new Screens project, a user group is created.

This group will be added as a member of the Contributors group, as shown in the figure below:
