When running your digital signage screens or Kiosk mode using a tablet or touchscreen display, you will need the users to interact with your content, however, you don't want the users to close the program or unpair, or change other settings of OptiSigns app.
The lock-down mode will hide the side menu, and the close, sizing button, so users will not be able to exit the OptiSigns player or make any changes to their setup.
Currently, this feature is available for Android, FireOS, Windows, and Linux with a Pro Plus plan.
Lockdown mode works best with OptiSigns Android Stick devices, as it will be completely lockdown.
On Windows, Linux, other Android, FireOS it's still be available with limitation: the OptiSigns player will be locked down (user cannot unpair), but since the app does not have OS level control, it is still possible to close the app and interact at OS level.
To turn on the lockdown mode.
Go to the Edit Screen page of your screen, and expand the Advanced setting. Under the section Lock Down, click the Activate button.
Once you confirm to activate the lockdown mode, you have the option to set an unlock password. The password will be used to temporarily unlock the device if you want to make some changes or operate the device as a super user.
To unlock the device, you will need to tap 6 times on the screen, then in the popup window, enter the unlock password.
That's it! Now you know how to activate the lockdown mode with OptiSigns.
