What is Moki Kiosk and when would you use it?

Moki Kiosk is a web browsing app that you can customize and control remotely. Here are some of it’s uses.

  • Show one, or many, website videos or images
  • Lock users into your web experience
  • Control website navigation and sessions
  • Screensavers when not in use

Step 1 – Installing Moki Kiosk

Moki Kiosk is already in your account so you can include it in your enroll code. Or, you can send it to your device from the Devices tab by selecting your device, clicking the drop-down that says Apps and selecting Moki Kiosk or MokiTouch 2.

Step 2 – Moki Kiosk Settings

To start managing settings, click the Manage Settings button and then the Edit Device Settings button. When you have finished editing settings hit the Save button. You will then be able to save these settings and apply them to the rest of your devices without having to go through all of these steps. We show you how to do this in Step 3 of this article.

Moki Kiosk settings are composed of sections. The first section is General Settings, which controls access to the on-device settings menu and web display settings. The second section is Content, which controls what you display for your main content and screensaver. Section three is for limiting browsing. Section four is where you set the screensaver content and Section five is where you control the layout features.

We recommend setting an admin password and put a value in the Reset When Idle For settings so that the cache is cleared occasionally. You may also want to turn on the Navigation Buttons if your site isn’t easy to navigate around in.
