A Conference Room Display alternative is an app that replaces Apple TV's built-in Conference Room Display with something you control. Apple's version shows a fixed, generic screen and only exists so people can AirPlay. Billboard keeps that one-tap AirPlay and puts your own images, video and notices behind it, then lets you manage every screen from one dashboard.
Push Conference Mode as a managed profile and the Apple TV mostly sits frozen on that one screen. tvOS updates don't run, so your fleet quietly drifts out of date until someone pulls the profile and updates each one by hand. Billboard runs as a normal app, so your Apple TVs keep updating the way they should.
Getting out of Apple's Conference Mode means the Menu button on the remote, and if it's locked to a profile you can't exit at all without pulling the config. Lose the remote and the room is stuck on that screen. Billboard is managed from your browser, so a missing remote never holds a room hostage.
Conference Mode can drop off Wi-Fi, and once it does it can stop taking commands from your MDM, so you're driving out to reset devices by hand. Billboard caches your content locally and keeps playing through a wobbly connection, then catches up on its own once you're back online.
And it costs less as you grow — see how flat rate compares to per-screen signage.
Build a gallery of your images, video and notices in the dashboard.
Each gallery gets a short code you can share or roll out.
Type the code on the Apple TV, or push it automatically with your MDM.
Yes. Billboard keeps one-tap AirPlay, with an on-screen panel showing the network and Apple TV name, exactly like Conference Mode.
Yes, you run Billboard instead of Apple's Conference Room Display. Once Billboard is on the Apple TV it handles both the display and AirPlay.
Usually, because Billboard is flat by number of screens rather than per screen per month, which is how most signage is billed.
Yes. Manage every screen from one dashboard and deploy across hundreds of Apple TVs with your MDM.
Start free, keep one-tap AirPlay, and put your own content on every Apple TV.
