Getting started with Apple TV kiosk management

Apple TV Kiosk Management signifies a purpose-specific, restricted environment in which Apple TV can be configured. Using Hexnode UEM, you can quickly turn your device into Kiosk mode. Advanced settings specific to kiosk mode can be configured, which enhances the security of the devices.

Enrolling your devices

Ensure that your devices are enrolled with Hexnode UEM before you set up your device in Kiosk mode.

You need to supervise your device to enable Kiosk mode. To supervise your device, enroll either using Apple Configurator or the Device Enrollment Program (DEP). DEP helps to automate MDM enrollment and thus configure your organization’s devices without touching them.
