Kiosk Settings For Zoom Rooms iPad

When setting up Zoom Rooms on the iPad, you will need to ensure some settings are configured correctly to set it for kiosk mode. This will allow Zoom Rooms to start and prevent users from using other applications on the iPad.

Note:

There is a known issue with iOS 12 when the iPad is in Guided Access mode since the iPad goes to sleep when this feature is switched on. In step 9 of the Setup Guided Access, under the Mirror Display Auto-Lock setting, please update your device to iOS 12.1.11 or later and make sure that you enable it.
