How to set up an Apple TV Conference Room Display

Apple TV can be used as a Conference room display to easily share the screen of an Airplay-supported device without granting the user access to any other function of the AppleTV. When the conference room display is turned on, it displays network details along with instructions on how to connect to AppleTV using Airplay.

Notes:

  • An Apple TV with tvOS 10.2 or later.
  • The device should be enrolled in Hexnode.
  • The device must be supervised.
