Kitcast, a popular Apple TV-based digital signage software, has launched a new 2.0 platform for businesses of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. The 2.0 platforms aim to simplify content management across multiple screens and enhance internal and external communication. Key features include zero-touch deployment, Single Sign-On (SSO), an AI-powered content creator, and unlimited cloud storage. With enterprise-grade reliability and scalability, Kitcast aims to streamline digital signage worldwide for businesses, educational institutions, and non-profits.

About Apple @ Work: Bradley Chambers managed an enterprise IT network from 2009 to 2021. Through his experience deploying and managing firewalls, switches, a mobile device management system, enterprise grade Wi-Fi, 1000s of Macs, and 1000s of iPads, Bradley will highlight ways in which Apple IT managers deploy Apple devices, build networks to support them, train users, stories from the trenches of IT management, and ways Apple could improve its products for IT departments.


“We’ve built a powerful platform packed with practical features that make managing screens—whether it’s a few or thousands—easier and more efficient,” said Egor Belenkov, CEO of Kitcast. “In a fast-changing industry, staying ahead is critical. This release highlights our commitment to delivering innovative, scalable solutions that drive growth and improve communication.”

Kitcast’s new 2.0 platform has enterprise-grade features that ensure reliability and security. These include zero-touch deployment, which allows users to install and configure screens remotely, and Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure, simplified user access. For businesses managing multiple teams or locations, advanced user management makes controlling who can access or edit specific screens and content easy.

Another new feature is the API integration options, which allow businesses to create custom solutions tailored to their specific needs by integrating with third-party applications. This aims to provide companies the flexibility to optimize the platform to meet their needs better. Here are some of the additional highlights of Kitcast 2.0

Simplified organization

A new sidebar design allows users to organize screens into groups and subgroups or tag them for quicker navigation. This hierarchical approach enables effortless management of multiple screens across various locations, ensuring smooth operations even for organizations with complex signage needs. With drag-and-drop widgets, users can integrate content like social media feeds, calendars, weather updates, TikTok videos, TED Talks, and even custom HTML5 websites into their playlists without any technical expertise.

AI content creation

The AI-powered content creation feature is one of the most exciting innovations in the new Kitcast platform. Users can quickly generate visually appealing digital signage by selecting a video or image background, entering their message, and letting the AI design the perfect layout. This automation eliminates the need for extensive design skills, making professional-grade digital content accessible to any organization.

Cloud storage

Version 2.0 of Kitcast offers unlimited cloud storage, allowing businesses to store all of their media without worrying about space limitations. The 2.0 platforms also integrates with Dropbox and Google Drive, ensuring that IT admins have quick and easy access to their content libraries.

Flexible scheduling and content management options

To further simplify content management, Kitcast 2.0 adds smart playlist management with an easy-to-use sidebar. Users can create, edit, and switch between playlists effortlessly. The platform supports flexible scheduling, enabling businesses to set specific times for content to be displayed or looped, with automated expiration dates to ensure fresh, relevant material is always on screen.

9to5Mac’s take

Kitcast is a fantastic Apple TV digital signage tool, and I believe that Apple TV, which its strong management capabilities through device management systems, is one of the most underrated digital signage platforms on the market. Kudos to the Kitcast team for a strong 2.0 upgrade.
