Remote Actions that work in Kiosk mode for ChromeOS devices

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a few Chromebooks that I intend to use at my hotel’s reception for check-ins. I have tried Kiosk mode in ChromeOS vaguely for some of the existing Chromebooks in my organization, but I would like to know more about the remote actions I can perform through Hexnode in my devices, so that I can fully leverage my new devices for my purpose. Can anybody help me?

Managing Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC) on ChromeOS devices

I’ve been hearing a lot about Android Runtime for Chrome (ARC) on ChromeOS lately. From what I gather, it’s what allows Android apps to run on Chromebooks, but I’m not entirely sure how it works or what kind of control admins have over it. Can anyone explain how ARC functions on ChromeOS devices?

App permissions on ChromeOS

Hi folks! I manage a bunch of ChromeOS devices in my organization, and I’d like to block some permissions for certain apps. Is there a way to do this in bulk with Hexnode?

Managed guest session use cases

Hey y’all, I was browsing through this doc about Managed Guest Sessions on ChromeOS, and it actually caught my interest. How exactly is a guest session managed if it doesn’t save anything in the first place, isn’t it contradictory to the whole purpose?

ChromeOS devices not showing up in Hexnode after enrolment

Hey guys, I’ve been trying to enroll a bunch of ChromeOS devices into Hexnode through Google Workspace, but none of them are showing up in the Hexnode portal. I double-checked the enrolment steps, but still no luck. Has anyone faced this before?

Locking down remote support for library kiosks

Hey guys, we set up chromebooks in our campus library for quick student access, running as Managed guest sessions. We need IT to be able to remote in instantly for support, but I need to block the guest user from somehow sharing their screen with their buddy's personal laptop. I'm using hexnode. Is there a way to achieve that?

ChromeOS Kiosk and Policies

I got questions on how everyone else got your Chrome devices setup with hexnode. How did you guys handle it or manage it? I got a new ChromeBox I am planning to deploy and would like to know if Kiosk mode works the same as the Android devices using policies.

Automatically log users out in guest session

We have company chromebooks that multiple people use, so we’ve set up guest sessions. The problem is that some users don’t log out when they’re done, they just close the lid and leave. This could lead to serious issues. Is there any way to automatically log users out after a guest session?

Difference between OS and Platform versions in ChromeOS

Hey all! I was browsing through the device details for one of our ChromeOS devices in Hexnode, and I noticed two separate fields: Platform version and OS version. At first glance, they seem related, but the numbers are totally different. For example, one of our Chromebooks shows: Platform version: 16092.98.0 OS version: 124.0.6367.93 Could anyone…

What is this ghost window restriction in ChromeOS?

I noticed a setting called ghost window under the Android runtime for chrome section in the Advanced restrictions. What exactly does this do? Is it anything like that ghost window problem on Windows 11 where a small transparent box gets stuck above the taskbar?

Can I use personal account for ChromeOS enrollment?

Hi all! We're exploring options for managing Chrome OS devices in our organization. I understand that a Google account is required for this, but can personal Google accounts be used for device management?
