Kiosk Mode - Overview

Public, retail, educational, and enterprise deployments often need a device that only runs one application, without users reaching other settings, apps, or the desktop. Kiosk Mode restricts a device to run only the OnSign Player, turning it into a secure, single-purpose signage tool. How you enable it depends on the device's platform.
