Restrictions Payload Settings for Apple TV

The following restrictions are available for Apple TV devices with tvOS 10.2 or later through configuration profiles:

• Disable AirPlay (supervised devices only)
  Selecting Disable AirPlay prevents AirPlay on scoped tvOS devices. Scoped tvOS devices will not appear in a list of available devices when attempting to AirPlay on Apple TV.

• Require passcode on first AirPlay pairing
  You can now select Require passcode on first AirPlay pairing for tvOS devices to require devices to provide the AirPlay password.
  Note: Does not require tvOS 10.2 or later.

• Disable control using Remote app
  Selecting Disable control using Remote app prevents iOS devices from using the Remote app with Apple TV, and instead requires the use of a Siri Remote.
  Note: This restriction does not prevent the use of the Siri Remote.

• Allow keyboard continuation
  Selecting Allow keyboard continuation prevents iOS keyboards from inputting text on Apple TV.

Single App Mode Payload Settings for Apple TV

Beginning with tvOS 10.2, you can set supervised Apple TV devices to Single App Mode. Single App Mode locks scoped devices to a selected app. Apple TV devices in Single App Mode can still use AirPlay, unless restricted via the Restrictions payload. A device in Single App Mode that reboots will automatically resume locked screen display without first showing the Home Screen.

Note: Attempting to lock Apple TV devices to an in-house or third-party app that does not yet exist on the devices will cause an error. To avoid this issue, ensure the app is installed on scoped devices before configuring Single App Mode.

The following settings can be enforced when in Single App Mode:

• Touch
  When enforced, all touch input is disabled on the device including Siri Remote and any paired iOS devices.

• Auto-Lock
  When enforced, Auto-Lock is disabled, preventing the tvOS screen saver from appearing.

The following settings can be enforced or set to allow users to change when in Single App Mode:
Note: When enforced, these settings are disabled.

• VoiceOver

• Zoom

• Invert Colors

Conference Room Display Payload Settings for Apple TV

Beginning with tvOS 10.2, you can set supervised Apple TV devices to Conference Room Display mode using the JSS. Unless a background image and screen saver are manually defined in the Apple TV device settings, Conference Room Display locks scoped Apple TV devices to a black wallpaper screen and downloads a default screen saver. This mode can also display a message if configured.

Conference Room Display can be deployed automatically, and apps can install while devices are in this mode. A device set to Conference Room Display mode that reboots will automatically resume locked screen without first showing the Home Screen.

Note: If an Apple TV device is running Single App Mode, or if Single App Mode is deployed with Conference Room Display, Conference Room Display will override Single App Mode. In addition, if an Apple TV device is connected to a network via Ethernet, Conference Room Display will not automatically display a Wi-Fi network to join for AirPlay sharing. This can be manually added to the On-Screen Message field of the configuration profile in the Conference Room Display payload.
