A kiosk shows a live preview of what's happening that day. They are designed to be displayed on TVs, monitors, and tablets around your building. The kiosk updates every five minutes and reloads every day. Once an event ends, it's removed from view.
Check the box to include descriptions of the event. Select the dark or light kiosk to launch on your screen.
Notice
Kiosks only show fully approved events.

The iPad has built-in Wi-Fi, a crisp display, and a nice black bezel around the edge with no branding. Several iPad kiosk stands are available that prevent theft, provide power, and look great.
Tip
-
Since Safari and Google Chrome don't have proper full-screen modes, installing a full-screen web browser on the iPad is recommended.
-
Use the guided access mode and a password so people standing at the kiosks won't be able to use or shut off the iPad while it's displaying your kiosk.
Add a TV as an additional display to a computer or mirror the display of a tablet or computer using an AppleTV or Chromecast.
Use one of these ways to set up your TV Kiosk:
-
TV Display: Set up the TV as a display for a laptop or small computer wired or wirelessly using a wireless HDMI.
-
Mini PC: Use a small computer that plugs into the HDMI port and is powered by USB. You won't have to have a dedicated iPad or computer for the TV, but you'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to navigate the computer, set up the initial wifi connection, etc.
-
Apple TV: Use Apple's Airplay feature to mirror the display of a Mac or an iPad.
-
Google Chromecast: Plug the device into the USB on the back of your TV. You'll need to add a browser extension to Chrome, and Chrome will recognize the Chromecast devices on your local network. Then, you can select which Chromecast you'd like to broadcast your web browser tab to. Chromecast can only broadcast one device at a time.Google Chromecast
