A method comprising: determining, by a computing device including a lid portion, a base portion mechanically coupled to the lid portion, and at least one sensor configured to sense a configuration of the computing device, that the computing device is in a peripheral mode of operation based on an orientation of the lid portion in which the lid portion is positioned in a fully open position, i.e. having an angle of approximately 360° with respect to the base portion, and the base portion of the computing device is oriented upward allowing access to one or more input devices included in an input area included in the base portion; entering, by the computing device, a broadcast discovery mode in response to the determination that the computing device is in the peripheral mode of operation, wherein in the broadcast discovery mode, the computing device is configured to implement peer-to-peer communication or near-field communication, or both peer-to-peer communication and near-field communication; connecting the computing device to a display system that is listening for broadcasts from the computing device, the connecting enabling wireless communication between the computing device and the display system; sending, from the computing device to the display system, network credentials and user credentials associated with the computing device; establishing, based on the network credentials, a connection between the display system and a network, and providing to the display system access to an account of a user based on the user credentials; receiving, by the computing device, from a computer system, a request to confirm the connection between the computing device and the display system; providing, by the computing device, to the computer system, confirmation of the connection between the computing device and the display system; and displaying, on a display device included in the display system, a graphical user interface, GUI, including a numerical code, and receiving entry of the numerical code in the GUI. determining, by a computing device including a lid portion, a base portion mechanically coupled to the lid portion, and at least one sensor configured to sense a configuration of the computing device, that the computing device is in a peripheral mode of operation based on an orientation of the lid portion in which the lid portion is positioned in a fully open position, i.e. having an angle of approximately 360° with respect to the base portion, and the base portion of the computing device is oriented upward allowing access to one or more input devices included in an input area included in the base portion; entering, by the computing device, a broadcast discovery mode in response to the determination that the computing device is in the peripheral mode of operation, wherein in the broadcast discovery mode, the computing device is configured to implement peer-to-peer communication or near-field communication, or both peer-to-peer communication and near-field communication; connecting the computing device to a display system that is listening for broadcasts from the computing device, the connecting enabling wireless communication between the computing device and the display system; sending, from the computing device to the display system, network credentials and user credentials associated with the computing device; establishing, based on the network credentials, a connection between the display system and a network, and providing to the display system access to an account of a user based on the user credentials; receiving, by the computing device, from a computer system, a request to confirm the connection between the computing device and the display system; providing, by the computing device, to the computer system, confirmation of the connection between the computing device and the display system; and displaying, on a display device included in the display system, a graphical user interface, GUI, including a numerical code, and receiving entry of the numerical code in the GUI.
