Billboard — Release notes

v1.0.1 — 7 July 2026

Everything below ships in v1.0.1, across the Billboard dashboard and the Billboard app for Apple TV.

Apple TV app

  • Turn any Apple TV into a customisable Conference Room Display with your own images and video, playing full-screen with smooth crossfades.
  • A drifting AirPlay panel so anyone in the room can still cast, showing your branding and network details — with Frosted, Medium and Glass styles.
  • The AirPlay panel matches Apple's Conference Room Display and shows your network name, labelled "Network" so it reads correctly on Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
  • An on-screen clock and an account notice, both with a frosted-glass look, that drift slightly over time to prevent burn-in on always-on screens.
  • Screens check for changes on the refresh interval you choose and update on their own — no restart.
  • Read the privacy policy right on the Apple TV, from Settings.
  • A Developer mode overlay shows sync status, countdowns and app version at a glance for troubleshooting a display.
  • Gentler wording when a screen is paused for being over your plan's limit.
  • Now available in public beta on TestFlight — join from the website or the "Get the app" link in your dashboard.

Galleries & content

  • Manage every screen from one dashboard, with instant updates and live monitoring.
  • Build galleries of images and video, and schedule content to appear and disappear on set dates.
  • A redesigned gallery with boxed 16:9 previews, so each thumbnail shows exactly what appears on screen.
  • Drag and drop to reorder your media.
  • Select several images at once to remove them together, with a confirmation step before anything is deleted.
  • A drag-and-drop upload experience with per-file progress.

Photo framing & cropping

  • Every image is automatically cropped and optimised to fill a Full HD screen.
  • Choose exactly how each photo is framed with a 16:9 crop tool, and re-frame any time.
  • Keep your original photos to re-crop whenever you like, or finalise crops to save storage — your choice, per account.
  • iPhone photos (HEIC) are supported and converted automatically on upload.

Settings & account

  • A single Settings panel — General, Gallery, Billing, Storage, Security and Account — on desktop and mobile.
  • Link directly to any settings section from around the app.
  • Add a display photo or company logo, and pick an accent colour for your dashboard.
  • See where you're signed in, and sign out of all devices, from Security.
  • A Storage page showing what you've used, plus tools to manage original photos and reclaim space.
  • Set an account-wide notice that shows across all of your screens.
  • Send feedback — with an optional screenshot — straight from the account menu.
  • Sign in with Google or Microsoft, or reset your password by email.
  • Permanently delete your account and all of its data at any time.

Billing & plans

  • Flat, screen-based pricing with automatic limit enforcement.
  • Upgrade without leaving Billboard with in-app checkout, and manage your saved cards and invoice history inside Billing.
  • Every plan includes media storage.

Branding & display

  • Tint the AirPlay panel and choose its glass — Frosted, Medium or clear.
  • Set an exact brand colour by hex code.
  • Show your network as a join step on the panel, and an on-screen clock.

Privacy

  • Cookie-consent controls — analytics load only after you agree, and you can change your choice at any time.
  • A public privacy policy and terms & conditions.

Help & support

  • A Help & Support centre with deployment guides for Jamf, Jamf School, Intune, Mosyle, Kandji, SimpleMDM, Cisco Meraki, Apple Configurator and Apple Business Manager.
  • Everyday Apple TV guides — pairing and resetting the remote, restarting and resetting, installing configuration profiles, and keeping a screen always-on.
  • Step-by-step guides with screenshots for creating galleries, uploading media, customising the display, billing and your account — searchable and tagged.
  • Dedicated pages for schools and universities.

Performance & reliability

  • Faster dashboard loads and quicker, more reliable delivery of content to every screen.
  • Dark mode across the whole dashboard.
  • Stronger protection for your uploaded media.
  • Fixed: creating a gallery could occasionally create two, and switching plans could risk a duplicate subscription — both resolved. A single-image gallery now holds steady instead of fading in and out.
