What is the "office mode" on Apple TV?
- danieldk 8y agoI think they refer to conference room display: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202618 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202618 It's a mode where the Apple TV display instructions on how to connect with airplay and a pin code for authentication. It's really a handy feature in combination with Direct Wi-Fi, since it allows anyone in a conference room with a Mac or iDevice to present things. We use it in meetings (though I prefer hooking up to by cable, since Airplay doesn't do 4k yet for 'screen sharing').
- bjelkeman-again 8y agoIs it better than a Chromecast? If I remember correctly, anyone with a Chrome browser (and apps with the feature added) can use the screen. Which gets around Apple only.
- danieldk 8y agoLast time I tried, Chrome has to be on a wireless network and the computer on the same network. The access point also shouldn't isolate clients. Apple TV works with Wi-Fi Direct (P2P airplay) Edit: ah Chromecast guest mode works differently. But we are an Apple shop anyway.
