[2024] Fully Kiosk Browser for Windows

Install Android OS on Your Windows PC

• The device might face multiple compatibility challenges when trying to run Android software. For example, Android does not support various PC hardware configurations like graphic cards, audio devices, and Wi-Fi connections, making it non-operational.
• Similarly, Android may lack the drivers for various PC components that cannot be used otherwise.
• Moreover, it is a complex task requiring high technical knowledge, and the lack of official support makes it challenging.  

💡 Alternative Kiosk Browser Solutions

• Most users prefer to find an alternative way to implement a kiosk browser within the Windows OS boundary. It helps them keep connected to the original Windows features and update management, streamlining lockdown processes.

• Similar to Fully Browser, the Windows kiosk mode offered by AirDroid Business locks down target Windows devices to run only your configured browser (such as Chrome or Edge), allowing access only to approved pages while blocking all other URLs.

• The functions of the browser can be customized according to specific business requirements.

• Limited Access: The kiosk browser of MDM ensures a controlled user experience with restrictions imposed with website allowlisting and blacklisting, content filtering, and other such features, particularly the public-facing kiosks, which are displayed for brand visibility and promotions. These restrictions allow businesses to display a kiosk browser in full-screen mode with specific website, images or videos while the viewers can only read it. 
• Locked-down Environment: MDM provides strong authentication for Windows devices, ensuring only authorized users can access them. It helps ensure data protection and compliance and enables remote lockdown of unattended devices.

• Prevent timeout closing
  MDM's prevent timeout closing feature helps enterprises and marketers ensure continuous display on the kiosk screens. Usually, the screen closes or timeouts after a specific time when left unattended, but MDM allows businesses to run their devices with kiosk browsers with 24-hour display, just like ATMs, which we can use 24/7, and they keep displaying bank's information all the time when not in use.
• Strict lockdown mode
  This feature of MDM allows business administrators to restrict access to other device functions. For example, in hotels, we can only use interactive kiosks for check-in and out, while all other device operations are hidden or disabled. These functions include system settings options, access to stored files, and the installed apps. It limits the device to the intended kiosk application.
• Full-screen Mode
  Full-screen mode provides an interactive display area for businesses to manage more content on the screen. It is also a way to eliminate distractions and other elements displayed on a normal screen, such as the taskbar, menu bar, and other functionality control options.
• Website Allowlist
  Business administrators can create a list of URLs to add as approved websites. End-users can access only those websites on managed devices while blocking access to all other websites. It helps prevent malicious attacks and improve work productivity in business environments. 
• Device Function Limitation
  With MDM, admins can limit device functions so users cannot change network and other settings. This helps ensure the device's continuity as a kiosk browser and prevents data leakage. Users cannot use keyboard shortcuts to make changes.

• Retailers
  Retailers usually use POS systems and specific web application to provide interactive kiosk services to customers. These web applications on Windows devices are used in-store to facilitate customers and staff. Customers can access the kiosk browser with the store's private app to check out prices, make purchases, and perform transactions.
  It is a streamlined and easy way to deal with maximum customers quickly, resulting in customer retention. The kiosk browser also displays promotions and sales offers for customer engagement. 
• Hotels and Offices
  At hotels and offices, have developed personal apps, websites, or web applications to manage check-in and check-out with kiosk mode on interactive devices. These devices save visitors' information, which can be fetched in the future for any need. Users are also provided with information kiosks to obtain concerned information.
• Healthcare
  Healthcare professionals have innovated their hospital management system with specialized applications or personalized app. They run such apps and websites on kiosk browsers to schedule and manage patients' appointments. Medical staff can use these devices with limited access to medical niches only so they can search out queries quickly in emergencies. They are also displayed in waiting areas to convey health-related general information and precautions.
