Kiosk mode and screensaver

Hey!

Hexnode’s Kiosk Screensaver feature allows you to display images (JPG and PNG) or play videos (MP4 and MKV) with audio (MP3 and OGG) as screensavers while locking down your devices running Android 4.4+ into kiosk mode.

With this feature, you can specify the number of seconds of inactivity after which the screensaver is to be started. Additionally, you can mute videos, play custom background music, fit the images/ videos to full-screen, configure the screen orientation to Portrait/ Landscape mode, adjust the screen brightness and more.

The Kiosk Screensaver feature is set to be released within a week. Meantime, stay tuned to our release notes to get notified on our new releases.

Cheers!

Hi there, in single app mode, when the screensaver kicks in and i touch the screen it shows the Hexnode portal sign in. How do i set it to show the single app instead?

Hi Chris,

That’s strange! This usually happens if you have a web app, which is your Hexnode portal, added in the kiosk. Can I know which app do you have as your kiosk app? Additionally, I’d suggest you to check if you have:
1. More than one kiosk policy applied to this device.
2. Any app added as a background app.

Let me know about these, and I’ll help you the best way I can.

Cheers!
Josh
