Everything you need to get Billboard set up, keep your galleries running, and roll it out across a whole fleet of Apple TVs.
Create a gallery, open the Billboard app on your Apple TV, and connect the two from your dashboard. Your first screen can be live 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, connect it to a gallery from your dashboard, use the on-screen menu, 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 stays small, plus 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 screen 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 for your screens. Re-crop from the original, add a caption, 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.
Add live local weather to your galleries, as a small chip beside the clock or a full-screen slide, from one location you set once.
Show your brand mark in the corner of every slide. Upload it once on your account, then switch it on for your screens.
Give a photo a short line of text that fades in as it comes up on screen, then fades away. Set per photo, in its settings.
Push one urgent message to every screen on your account within seconds, then clear it just as fast when it's over.
Frame a gallery for a screen mounted sideways or upside down, and reframe your photos to suit the new shape.
Build a menu, a timetable or a set of notices in the browser and drop it into any gallery. Edit it once and every screen showing it catches up.
Search millions of free, high-resolution photos from inside your dashboard and drop them straight into a gallery. They cost you no storage.
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.

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, the code it's playing and app version at a glance. The fastest way to diagnose a display.
