How to Set Up Kiosk Mode with Intune for Multiple Monitoring Displays?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I've got a project where I need to configure 100 kiosk devices that will run specific URLs for monitoring purposes, like slideshows or similar content. Each device is supposed to display its unique URL, and I want to manage these remotely. I was considering using Intune's kiosk mode, but I'm a bit worried about the hassle of creating a separate configuration profile for each device and keeping everything updated in the long run. Has anyone tackled a similar issue? Any advice or tips on avoiding chaos would be greatly appreciated!

For our TV kiosks, we use a different Google account for each location and set up individual slideshows for every TV. We give the login info to a non-tech employee for easy updates. Unfortunately, that means each device has its own config profile and device group, which can be a pain. I found it really tricky to get this working with 365, and so far, there's no truly native solution for running a slideshow in full-screen mode. If anyone has managed to get it to work, I’d love to know how!

TechWhiz99: You can actually publish the slideshow as an embed link in SharePoint. You'll get an HTML snippet to use in a local file. With a bit of CSS, you can adjust the size to fill the full screen. I run a script that refreshes the browser every hour to keep the content updated.
