# How do I check a screen's device playback (uptime) report?
> See how long each screen was actively displaying content with the Pickcel Uptime Report, view totals and averages by day, month, or custom date range, and download them.
The device playback report, shown as the **Uptime Report** in the Pickcel console, tells you how long each of your screens was actively displaying content. You can view it for a single day, a full month, or a custom date range, and download a copy for your records.
From the left sidebar of the [Pickcel console](https://console.pickcel.com), click **Reports** to open the reports hub. **Screen uptime** sits under **Screen & Operations**.
On the **Screen uptime** card, click **View reports**. It opens straight to the period picker.
Pick how you want to generate the report, then click **Continue**:
* **Daily**: select a single date from the calendar
* **Monthly**: select a month and year from the dropdowns
* **Custom**: select a start and end date for any period
The report lists every screen with its **Total Uptime** and **Average Uptime** for the period you selected. Use the search box to find a specific screen, or the filter to narrow the list by tag.
Click the **download icon** at the top of the report to save a copy to your computer.
The downloaded file is more detailed than the on-screen table. For each screen it includes:
* **Display Name**: the screen's name
* **MAC ID** and **Public IP / Private IP**: device network identifiers
* **Android APK Version** and **Android SDK Version**: player and OS build (for Android devices)
* **Tags**: any tags assigned to the screen
* **Last Sync Time**: when the screen last contacted the server
* **Total Uptime** and **Avg Uptime**: totals for the selected period
* **A column for each day** in the selected range, showing how long that screen was up on that date
This gives you a day-by-day breakdown per screen, alongside the device details, useful for auditing or sharing with your team.
