Apple TV configuration

[dmitchell]

We got 4 Apple TVs to test to use in conference rooms and eventually classrooms for presenters. I got the TVs to enroll in jamf and apply a config profile. My question is about restrictions on the config profile. We were told by our Apple rep that we should be able to restrict access to the App Store and certain apps so people can't pull up Netflix, etc... only apps we say are okay to use. I can't seem to figure out where these settings would be as it looks like there aren't many specific settings for tvOS. We are currently on jamf 9.98.

Have you tried Conference Room Mode?

@HCSTech I have not. Will this do what I am asking?

Here is a good explanation: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202618
It basically only lets them present and not access any settings.

@HCSTech Thanks!

Here's the formal Apple TV Management section of the iOS Deployment Reference. Within this section you will find what, specifically, is supported by MDM at this point. Not sure how much of these are currently implemented in 9.98 and 9.99, but I believe most have been implemented.
