What you need to get started
Chrome kiosk apps can run as kiosk-only applications where no user account is required. Kiosk apps give full control over the user's experience to the application itself, for example, allowing someone to use a virtual keyboard or setting up URL whitelists or blacklists.
Hardware
For hardware, you need a Chrome device and a display.
- Chromebox: Asus, HP, Dell, AOPEN, Acer, or Lenovo
- Chromebit: Asus
- Chromebase: LG, Acer, or AOPEN
- Display
- With or without touch support (as long as it is HID compliant)
- 1080p output over HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces
- i3 and i7 Chromeboxes support full 4k resolution
Software
For software, you need a Chrome license and a Chrome kiosk app:
- Chrome license (one per Chromebox). To purchase Chrome licenses, contact the Chrome or Google for Education team. You can also purchase Chrome Enterprise licenses online.
- Chrome kiosk app. You can use a Chrome kiosk app you create or a Chrome kiosk app from the Chrome Web Store
