After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Configure the Kiosk App through Device Control to run on a Qbic meeting room display

This manual is applicable for the following meeting room devices

Prerequisites

  1. You’ll need both a Qbic device + a PC
  2. Both devices should be on the same network
  3. Create a device account (i.e. the device account that will be used to log into the Kiosk application) in Users & Groups
  4. Ideally, you’ve already configured a Profile and a Theme, see Customizing the Kiosk app in Room mode

Step 1 - 3 - Install & Launch the app

see Device Control for QBIC

Step 4 - Configure the app

On the device, log in with the device account

You will have to provide the device account that has been configured in Users & Groups

If your device account is already in use by another Kiosk app, you will receive an error message. You’ll have to go to https://devicecontrol.cobundu.com/ and unlink the account used by the other kiosk.

Wait for the app to ask for a configuration

If this is the first time you use the device account, the app will launch and give an error. Don’t panic, this is completely normal The app is asking which locations and profile to load.

You’ll need your laptop for the next few steps.

Select Room + a profile & theme to be applied

Select the Room you want to see values for, a Profile and a Theme using the drop down menus.

These settings will be pushed to the Kiosk app after you SAVE.

You can customize this later at any point using the instructions in Customizing the Kiosk app in Room mode.

You might need to go back to the device and tap 'retry'

Once you select RETRY on the device, the app will continue its configuration.
