In the video below, we walk through every step of how to download SiteKiosk Online, install it on your device, and get it ready to display your content.

- Set up or log in to your SiteKiosk Online account (a new user can create a free 30‑day trial and then log in).
- After logging in, go to the dashboard page.
- On the dashboard, locate and open the “Downloads” tab at the top.
- In the Downloads tab, find the software for the device you want to lock down (for example, a Windows device).
- Decide which installer type to use: pre‑configured or general.
- Understand the difference: the pre‑configured installer automatically registers with the account it was downloaded from; the general installer requires you to enter username and password after installation.
- Download the pre‑configured Windows installer (in the example) to the device you want to secure.
- Wait for the SiteKiosk installer download to complete.
- Double‑click the installer file after it has downloaded to run a standard interactive installation.
- If you require a silent installation (for example, via Intune), pause and search the support forum for “silent installations” to find the command‑line switches for unattended or automated deployment.
- Proceed with the installer by confirming you want to allow it to run.
- Choose your preferred language (English in the example).
- Accept the license terms and conditions to continue.
- Apply the default options offered by the installer.
- When the installer finishes, review the options to restart the computer, exit the installer, or start SiteKiosk.
- Understand that a restart is required for the keyboard driver that blocks system‑critical key combinations, but you can usually skip the restart immediately and choose “Start SiteKiosk” instead.
- Click Finish to close the installer and launch SiteKiosk.
- After installation, view the SiteKiosk Quick Start menu that appears on the device.
- Recognize that, by design, there are only limited local options on this Quick Start menu. The configuration of the devcie will be published from SiteKiosk Online the managment portal.
- Know that if you had used the general installer, you would first need to select the server (US or EU), enter your username and password, and register the device manually.
- Because the example used the pre‑configured installer, registration is already completed automatically.
- On the Quick Start menu, use Test mode to run SiteKiosk under the currently logged‑in admin account to verify appearance and behavior.
- Use Auto start mode to run SiteKiosk under the default local profile created for production kiosk operation.
- Optionally configure SiteKiosk to run under a different user account if preferred.
- Choose the default options and proceed into Auto start mode in the example.
- Review the information screen that explains how to exit SiteKiosk on the device.
- Click OK on the exit‑instructions screen.
- Confirm by clicking Yes so Windows will reboot and start directly into SiteKiosk.
- After reboot, let SiteKiosk start; if a default project is already defined, it will automatically download and display that project on the device.
- If no default project is defined, log in to the SiteKiosk Online management portal from another machine, create or choose a project, and publish it to this device.
