How to setup Microsoft Managed Home Screen in kiosk mode on Dedicated and Fully managed devices
Hi Hospy, thanks for your feedback!
- By default, notifications and status bar are blocked by the OS when using kiosk mode. With our most recent [November 2020] release, we now support the capability to allow the status bar and notifications to appear while running in kiosk mode, whether you are locked into Managed Home Screen or another application. You will need to use device configuration settings in Intune to use these features. Please learn more about them here: Android Enterprise device settings for dedicated devices.
- You can collect logs from MHS by using the debug menu. You can access this by swiping down if you have enabled the easy access to debug menu feature, or you can access this by clicking your device's "back" button about 15 times. You will see an option to choose "logs" and you can upload them. Please save the ID to share with MSFT support, or for your own reference.
Here is some documentation on the public preview of Azure AD shared device mode, which leverages global sign-in and sign out: Intune Public Preview – Enroll Android Enterprise dedicated devices into Azure AD Shared device mode. Additionally, we have documented all of the MHS capabilities, inclusive of the global sign-in features, here: Configure the Microsoft Managed Home Screen app for Android Enterprise | Microsoft Docs.
