UPDATE ONE TV OR A WHOLE GROUP • Send content and configuration changes to connected TVs in real time. • Assign playlists and settings to individual TVs or TV groups. • Check connection status, playback and auto-advance settings. • Use live view and remote screenshots to see what's on your screens. • Refresh content and troubleshoot without visiting each display. The Apple TV app is built for always-on signage, with local media caching that helps your screens keep playing when the internet drops and reduces repeat downloads. MAKE YOUR DISPLAYS YOUR OWN • Choose landscape, portrait or either upside-down orientation. • Show weather as a full-size overlay, a mini overlay or its own slide. • Set the mood with background music and video themes. • Build custom themes, choose your media and control how background audio behaves when videos play. • Mix your content with news and conference-room availability. Send important messages when they are needed, with manual broadcasts and feed-triggered alerts. KEEP YOUR WORKSPACE ORGANIZED Find content with search, filters and sorting. Choose small, medium or large tiles, see useful details at a glance and select multiple items when it's time to tidy up. Share the work with user roles, organize displays by site and use MDM deployment to help set up Apple TV fleets. Moving from Google Sign Builder?
