I work in a High School where we are currently moving to a full Mac platform for both staff and students. We are installing Apple TVs in every classroom as well for teachers to wirelessly project more easily. The issue we are having is students in or out of the classroom will attempt to connect to the Apple TV during class which brings up the pin code. The teacher is then stuck waiting for the code to time out before they can move on. Just to note I have require passcode on for every connection to prevent previously connected students form highjacking the Apple TV as well.
So I guess my question is, does JAMF Pro provide a way to prevent connections to an Apple TV if it is in use?
We are using JAMF 10.42.1 if that matters. We are also using 4th gen Apple TVs

You are right to use the 4digit passcode on Apple TV,
because when it is activated then the student cannot take over the apple tv while the teacher is teaching.
The teacher is then stuck waiting for the code to time out before they can move on
Answer: how to not get stuck in the code, you can press the apple tv remote on the menu section, then it will return to the main menu (the code disappears)
