How to use Kiosk Lite (formerly known as Interactive Kiosk app)

Formerly Interactive Kiosk, Kiosk Lite displays preset content, seamlessly transitioning to website interaction upon touch. Ideal for kiosks, it supports advertising playlists, enabling users to input information or browse catalogs effortlessly.

This feature is supported on iOS, Androids, Windows, Linux, MacOS, Raspberry Pi, ChromeOS, and BrightSigns devices.

In addition, the Kiosk Lite app is only available through our Engage and Enterprise plans.

  • Advanced setting: Returned URL: If you are showing a lead capture form, and when the user finishes the app it automatically returns to playing the standard content. You can paste the URL where the user is redirected to after they submit the form here. (i.e. https://www.example.com/form123/thank-you) then the app detects this URL, and it will return to playing standard content.
Click Save.

 That's all! Congratulation!

You have created your Kiosk Lite app.

Note: Integrating the Kiosk Lite app into a Playlist may not offer an optimal user experience, as the content may inadvertently advance to the next item on the Playlist before completing their interaction with the touch screen. For a more seamless user experience, we recommend placing your playlist within the dedicated Kiosk Lite app.
