LightLoop turns any Apple TV into a reliable, always-on media player for your church, school, or organization — with zero subscription fees.
HOW IT WORKS
Connect LightLoop to your Google Drive and organize your media into playlists. Enter your Feed ID into the tvOS app, and LightLoop automatically downloads everything locally. Once cached, your playlists play without an internet connection — no buffering, no dropped frames, no surprises.

- Automatically resumes after a power outage — no manual restart needed
- Polls for feed updates in the background; new content downloads quietly while playback continues
- Supports landscape and portrait screen orientations
- Optional screensaver prevention keeps your display active during services or events
- Background audio / soundtrack playlists
- Scheduled playlist switching
PERFECT FOR
- Digital Curriculum in Classrooms

Show the child's name, photo, and a custom welcome message with a sound effect of your choice.
MULTI-OUTPUT TV WALL
Drive up to four independent 1080p outputs from a single Apple TV using an inexpensive 2×2 HDMI wall controller. Assign each quadrant a role — Program output, Stage Display (confidence monitor), an independent looping Media item, or a lower-third overlay. Overlay quadrants render song, Bible, and sermon lower-thirds, plus an Alpha (downstream-key) mode that outputs a clean fill matte for keying in ATEM and other switchers — so one Apple TV can feed your audience screen, a confidence monitor, and a livestream key/fill at the same time. Design reusable lower-third templates in a visual editor, and show a stage-only speaker countdown timer that never appears on the audience output.
CONTROL FROM YOUR PHONE (free iOS Remote)
Pair the LightLoop Remote app to run your service hands-on — jump between items, advance sermon and lyric slides, scrub audio, trigger countdowns, and use Stage Mode as a live confidence monitor that mirrors exactly what's on screen.
WHY APPLE TV
Apple TV is silent, fanless, and mounts behind any screen. It runs cool 24/7, receives years of OS updates, and supports automatic app launch on boot — making it the most dependable hardware for permanent display installations. LightLoop is compatible with Apple TV HD and all Apple TV 4K models (tvOS 17.6 or later).
100% FREE
LightLoop has no subscription fees. Your media lives in your own Google Drive — you stay in control of your storage. Google Workspace for Nonprofits gives qualifying churches and schools up to 100 TB of free storage, making LightLoop an unbeatable fit.
