Show events at a kiosk
A kiosk shows a live preview of what's happening that day. They are designed to be displayed on TVs, monitors, and tablets around your building. The kiosk refreshes events every five minutes. Once an event ends, it's removed from view.
Select the Events page in the top navigation.
Select the Share icon in the top right.
Choose Kiosk from the popup options.
Select Continue.
Check the boxes next to the details and feeds you want to display on the kiosk.
Choose whether to launch the dark or light kiosk.
Important
Kiosks only show fully approved events.
Once you launch the kiosk, you can preview what the kiosk will look like.
If you want to use your current monitor as the kiosk, select log out from the top banner. If you'd prefer to use a different device, copy the URL from the address bar and open it on the other device.
The kiosk shows the name of your organization, the date, and the current time.
Your upcoming events' information appears in the following order:
Time listed on the event
Event name
Name of the time if it doesn't match the event name
Rooms selected to show on the kiosk in the order listed on the event
Expand the sections for information on different types of kiosks you can use.
The iPad has built-in Wi-Fi, a crisp display, and a nice black bezel around the edge with no branding. Several iPad kiosk stands are available that prevent theft, provide power, and look great.
Tip
Since Safari and Google Chrome don't have proper full-screen modes, installing a full-screen web browser on the iPad is recommended.
Use the guided access mode and a password so people standing at the kiosks won't be able to use or shut off the iPad while it's displaying your kiosk.
Add a TV as an additional display to a computer or mirror the display of a tablet or computer using an AppleTV or Chromecast.
Use one of these ways to set up your TV Kiosk:
TV Display: Set up the TV as a display for a laptop or small computer wired or wirelessly using a wireless HDMI.
Mini PC: Use a small computer that plugs into the HDMI port and is powered by USB. You won't have to have a dedicated iPad or computer for the TV, but you'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to navigate the computer, set up the initial wifi connection, etc.
Apple TV: Use Apple's Airplay feature to mirror the display of a Mac or an iPad.
Google Chromecast: Plug the device into the USB on the back of your TV. You'll need to add a browser extension to Chrome, and Chrome will recognize the Chromecast devices on your local network. Then, you can select which Chromecast you'd like to broadcast your web browser tab to. Chromecast can only broadcast one device at a time.
