Everything you need to set Billboard up, run your galleries, and roll it out across a whole fleet of Apple TVs.
Create a gallery, enter its code on your Apple TV, and get your first slideshow on screen in a few minutes.
A quick orientation to the Billboard dashboard — the sidebar, your galleries, a gallery's tabs, and where account and display settings live.
Install the app, enter your gallery code, reach on-device settings, and lock the screen down for always-on use.
The domains and ports to allow through a school or corporate firewall so Billboard can load content on your Apple TVs.
How Billboard uses your network — media downloads once and plays locally, so ongoing data use is small — and how to keep it light on big fleets.
Upload and order media, tune the AirPlay panel, add a clock or a notice, and control how often screens refresh.
Add images and video to a gallery, reorder the playlist, and remove items. iPhone (HEIC) photos and 16:9 framing are handled for you.
Which image and video formats you can upload, how large files can be, and what Billboard does to your photos to make them look sharp on a TV.
Every photo is framed to 16:9 for the TV. Re-crop from the original any time, and set how long a photo shows or when it appears.
Set how long items show, add an on-screen clock, and tailor the AirPlay panel — its text, the network name, and its colour.
Show one message across the top of every screen at once — closures, events or reminders — and switch it off in a click.
Create an account, sign in with email or Google and Microsoft, reset a forgotten password, keep your organisation details current, and delete your account and data.
How to permanently delete your Billboard account, exactly what gets removed, and the gentler alternatives if you only want to stop paying.
See how much space your media uses, understand the original photos kept for re-cropping, and reclaim space by deleting originals or unused media.
Switch the dashboard between light and dark, choose an accent colour, add a display photo, and find your way around the Settings panel.
What Billboard stores, how your content and payments are kept secure, and the fact that your screens don't collect data about the people who see them.
How plans and screen limits work, upgrading or downgrading, monthly vs annual billing, and managing your subscription.
How Billboard counts screens against your plan, which screens keep playing when you go over, and how to free one up.
Upgrade for more screens, switch between monthly and annual, update your card, or cancel — all from the billing page.

Set up Apple TVs for Billboard without a full MDM. Install the app, lock the screen to Billboard with Single App Mode, and save a blueprint to reuse across every device.
Add Billboard to Volume Purchasing so your MDM can install it, and understand how Apple's business and school portals fit into an Apple TV rollout.
Get a brand-new Apple TV ready for signage — pair the remote, connect to the network, and drop it straight into Billboard.
Pair a Siri Remote to an Apple TV, reset one that has stopped responding, and get an unresponsive remote working again.
Restart a frozen Apple TV, force a restart by cutting power, and factory reset one before you redeploy it.
How configuration profiles get onto an Apple TV — with Apple Configurator or an MDM — since tvOS can't open a profile from a browser like an iPhone.
The day-to-day Apple TV settings that keep a signage screen on and current — stop it sleeping, keep tvOS updated, and turn off Apple's own Conference Room Display.
Keep an Apple TV on Billboard so it can't be exited to the Home screen, using Apple Configurator, Jamf or Intune.
Billboard replaces Apple's blank Conference Room Display with your own content — and AirPlay still works in one tap, exactly like before.
Fixes for the most common issues: content not updating, a screen limit message, video that won't play, panel placement and remote controls.
What your screens show if the Wi-Fi or internet goes down — you don't lose your content, and screens keep playing what they already have.
Why a photo or video might not appear on screen, look soft, or refuse to play — and how to fix each one.
Turn on the on-screen diagnostics overlay to see a screen's sync status, countdowns, gallery code and app version at a glance — the fastest way to diagnose a display.
