In this blog post, I'll guide you step-by-step through configuring JAMF Pro to play a video in full screen and single-app mode on a Mac using scripts and policies, thus optimizing the multimedia viewing experience.

## Step 1: Create the Video Playback Script

## Step 2: Create the Deployment Policy in JAMF Pro

## Step 3: Deploy the Policy to Mac Devices

1. Assign the created policy to the specific Mac devices where you want to play the video.

2. Verify that the policy is applied correctly and the script is executed on the devices.

3. Once deployed, the video will automatically play in full screen and single-app mode on selected Mac devices.
