The longest part of the process is removing all of the built-in Samsung “channels.” If you don’t, the TV boots are straight up to random channels playing Hell’s Kitchen, Baywatch, and the national news.

I would first boot up the TV, connect it to our Wi-Fi, skip over as many steps as possible to set up a Samsung account, and then update the software on the TV. Configuration is a slow processīecause I was setting them up individually, I had to repeat the same process over and over. The TVs are sturdy, and the laptops fit nicely on the tray.
It takes around a half-hour per cart if you don’t have a single interruption. If you have a facilities staff that you can outsource that process, it will drastically speed up your deployment time. While I love the rolling cart model for our AirPlay 2 in the classroom solution, they are slow to assemble. Building the mounts took longer than configuring the TVs We mounted the TVs to a rolling TV cart that has a spot to put a laptop. Due to COVID–19 slowing manufacturing down worldwide, it was surprisingly hard to find a retailer with 30 of the same TVs in stock that could be shipped in a reasonable time frame. The second reason was that it was in stock. The first was that it supported AirPlay 2. We choose a 55″ Samsung TV for a few reasons. The current Apple TV costs nearly a quarter of what we paid for each of our TVs. To be clear, it’s going to be much easier to deploy Apple TVs connected to existing TVs as you will be able to manage them through your mobile device management solution for controlling updates, installing apps remotely, etc. Through his experience deploying and managing 100s of Macs and 100s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple’s products work at scale, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for students. He has been managing Apple devices in an education environment since 2009. I have now deployed 30 AirPlay 2 TVs to my entire school, and I’ve lived to tell you the benefits, negatives, and pitfalls.Ībout Making The Grade: Every Saturday, Bradley Chambers publishes a new article about Apple in education.
Earlier this year, I looked at the idea of deploying AirPlay 2 using in the classroom without using Apple.
