Kiosk Mode

Kiosk Mode enables Periscope to be used as a simplified digital signage solution that automatically navigates through all of your views. This is a great way to add interest and provide a high level view of the data you want to share.

Affected Views

Only views are affected by Kiosk Mode; settings pages are not affected by enabling Kiosk Mode.

Enabling Kiosk Mode

There is a single switch in Kiosk Mode Settings that makes it easy to turn Kiosk Mode ON or OFF. Once Kiosk is turned on it will stay on, even after refreshing the browser. 

Using Kiosk Mode

The settings page for Kiosk Mode contains a single field for view timing. This field controls the delay behavior of Kiosk Mode.

Pause Kiosk Mode

To pause Kiosk Mode, simply move your mouse over Periscope or press a key on your keyboard with Periscope in focus.

Resume Kiosk Mode

Kiosk Mode will resume once no interactions have occurred for the amount of time determined by the View Timing value.

Notifications

Kiosk Mode uses our built-in notification system to inform you on changes to the running status of Kiosk Mode. There will be notifications for the following events:

  • Enabled (on load)
  • Pause
  • Resume
