Every corridor screen, one campus plan
TVpilot is digital signage software for schools, universities and training centres in Manama, Muharraq, Riffa and across Bahrain. Show today's events straight from your calendar, share news in Arabic and English and reach every screen on campus within seconds when it matters. Your first screen is free forever.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
Events, exams and open days change, and the posters in the corridor do not.
Paste the iCal link of the school calendar from Google Calendar or Outlook and the screen shows the agenda live, as an agenda, day or week view. Change the calendar and the corridor follows.
An urgent message has to reach every building on campus at once.
Press the red Emergency alert button and one message fills every screen, per campus, per building tag or on chosen screens, within seconds. It ends by itself after the time you choose. Premium, included in Pro and Business.
Several teachers put things on screen, and nobody checks them before students see them.
Give teachers the editor role and let a coordinator approve playlists, uploads and schedule changes before they go live, with an optional four-eyes check. Approval is part of Business.

Frequently asked questions
Can the screens show Arabic and English?
Yes. Screens play what you make, so design bilingual slides in Canva or as images, videos or PDFs and they show exactly as designed. You can also alternate an Arabic slide and an English slide in one playlist.
Is the dashboard available in Arabic?
No. The dashboard is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Chinese (Simplified) and Thai, chosen per user in Settings. Emails and invoices from TVpilot are in English.
Can teachers add content without it going live straight away?
Yes. Playlist edits stay a draft until someone presses "Push to screen". On Business, you can also require approval for playlists, uploads and schedule changes before they reach any screen.
Which player should I use in a school?
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is the most reliable: one install command, it restarts its own player within seconds and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC on your power schedule, so screens are off when the campus is closed. An Android TV box with Fully Kiosk Browser, a Chromecast with Google TV or a smart TV browser also works.
Where is my data stored?
In the EU. TVpilot is a company from the Netherlands and does not host data in Bahrain. If your school has rules about where data is kept, check them before you start.
How am I billed from Bahrain?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to dinars. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. Prices exclude VAT.
