How do I set up a Chrome OS Kiosk?

Setting up WaiverSign using Chrome OS is a relatively simple process, all you need is any device running Chrome OS and a stable internet connection.

This article will cover using an extension called Kiosk for Chrome. This extension is also compatible when using a Mac or Windows computer with the Google Chrome Web Browser installed.

The following steps will lock your Chrome OS computer to your WaiverSign waiver, ensuring that your participants/signers do not stray away to other websites or menus on your computer. Additionally, if someone begins the signing process and walks away for more than a minute, the app will automatically start over for the next person in line.
