Meraki MDM to deploy videos??

[P40]

Hello everyone,

As the title suggest I was wondering if it is possible to deploy videos to iPads using Meraki MDM. My company already has iPads out in the field to clients that are requesting demo videos be on the home screen of the iPads. Is there a way to deploy a video or would I need to setup a share folder that has the videos in them? Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I am not aware of any Apple feature to push files out MDM or otherwise. There are definitely options for kiosk mode type things but this would not be a meraki feature per se. You'd just deploy the app of your choice. If your clients just want prestaged videos available to play when desired a shared folder app on a shared account might be your best option.

Thank you for the provided information. More then likely will have to used a shared folder with a link then! I was just informed by some managers that our competitors use a MDM called JAMFS that is able to deploy videos idk how accurate that information is. But again thank you!

This is not 100% what you want but might be close enough.  Check out the Backpack feature.

You could also look at using a Home Screen Layout with the above feature.

Thank you for both of ideas I'll check them both out!

You could add a web clip to the home screen which is essentially an alias to a webpage, that webpage could be a private Youtube video. 

If you have a video file i.e. mp4 that you want to put on the devices then the backpack might work but I have never used it so can't say for certain.

This is kind of what I was thinking. Thank you for the help!

Update: After playing around with a few ideas the best solution for our case was to enable sharpoint and use that as a "share folder" again thanks everyone for the help an suggestions!
