Kiosk Mode
Kiosk mode locks a device to a single app. On signage, it keeps the player on screen, relaunches it after a restart and stops passers-by from opening settings or other apps, which is essential for touch screens and public tablets.
Kiosk mode, explained
Without kiosk mode, one curious visitor can close the signage app on a public tablet.
Why it matters
- Autostart. The player comes back on its own after a power cut or reboot.
- Touch lock. Visitors stay inside the intended experience.
- Device-dependent. How deep the lock goes depends on the operating system and device permissions.
