Sill image (single picture screen saver)

I am trying to create a walk in slide using my apple tv.

I want only our company logo.

I have the image loaded in my shared album. I have selected "classic" dissolve set in the screensaver.

As the screen saver runs, it cycles through black as well.

I do not want the image to fade out. I would like the single image up all the time.


Please assist.


Thank you.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

It is a bit unfortunate that the photo screen saver for your home sharing photos seems to insert a blank spot in between cycling the available pictures.

  1. Prep your images as 16:9 files at screen resolution.
  2. When dealing with one image and home sharing screen saver, you can minimize the effect by making multiple copies of the image, so that the blank only comes on after cycling all the available images, and the dissolve transition would mostly go invisible to an identical image.
  3. You can choose to use a different app for this purpose. There are quite a bunch of “digital signage” apps in the App Store.


For digital signage, I’ve been playing with ConfBoard lately. You would store images online, along with an index file of URLs. (Note: for the images.txt file, remove any line feed after the last entry, else the app may cycle the images just once.)

Hi ocean259, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are looking to use your company logo as screen saver, and keep it as a still image. The article below may help provide some insights about the screen saver feature.

Use Apple TV screen savers


If you are looking to only display your company logo, have you had the chance to launch the Photos app and select your company logo?

You may have to disable the Sleep feature to make this work. Sleep or wake Apple TV


Take care!
