A better Conference Room Display for Apple TV

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 is a fixed, generic screen that only exists so people can AirPlay. Billboard keeps that one-tap AirPlay and puts your own images, video and notices behind it. Then you manage every screen from one dashboard.

Why look past Apple's Conference Room Display

Updates just stop

Park an Apple TV in Conference Mode and it mostly sits frozen on that one screen. Updates queue up and never land, and your devices quietly drift out of date. Billboard runs as a normal app, so your Apple TVs carry on updating the way they should.

Lose the remote, lose the room

Getting out of Conference Mode means finding the remote and digging through settings. Misplace it and you're stuck staring at that screen. Billboard is run from your browser, so a missing remote never holds a room hostage.

One dropped connection and it falls over

Apple's screen leans hard on the network. Knock the Wi-Fi out and things get ugly fast. Billboard keeps showing the content it already has and quietly catches up once you're back online.

What you get instead

  • Your branded content all day
  • One-tap AirPlay preserved
  • Central management with a gallery and code per space
  • MDM rollout with Jamf, Mosyle, Intune or Apple Configurator
  • Local caching so it survives a dropped connection
  • Flat pricing instead of per screen

And it costs less as you grow. see how flat rate compares to per-screen signage.

How to switch in three steps

1

Create a gallery

Upload the images and video each screen should show.

2

Open the app on your Apple TV

It shows a short code, unique to that screen.

3

Connect it from your dashboard

Enter the code to link the screen, or skip the codes entirely and push the whole fleet from your MDM.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still AirPlay if I replace Conference Room Display?

Yes. Billboard keeps one-tap AirPlay, with an on-screen panel showing the network and Apple TV name, exactly like Conference Mode.

Do I need to remove Apple's Conference Room Display profile?

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.

Is it cheaper than a paid signage tool?

Usually. Billboard is flat by number of screens, not per screen per month, which is how most signage bills you.

Does it work at scale for schools and universities?

Yes. Manage every screen from one dashboard and deploy across hundreds of Apple TVs with your MDM.
