What is TrueConf Kiosk

Purpose

TrueConf Kiosk is a software interface over TrueConf Server and TrueConf Room API for one-way video calls, designed to be installed on any hardware platform with Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) operating systems.

Using TrueConf Kiosk, video conferencing TrueConf can be integrated into any devices for business, public spaces, and more. For example, it can be integrated into ATMs or info kiosks for customer service.

The most common example of such integration is a dedicated video kiosk with a webcam which is running on Windows or Linux.

The user interface TrueConf Kiosk is the main screen that displays a set number of buttons for calling specific contacts in your TrueConf Server. You can also choose the interactive kiosk mode, where only the call button will appear in the corner above all windows.

All visual elements related to the call process—background image, company logo, video displayed in standby mode, etc.—can be configured in the kiosk settings menu. You can specify users of your own VCS server and the servers with which federation is configured as subscribers.

In this guide, we will explain the settings available in TrueConf Kiosk and how to configure them.
