Please note that this process involves adding both the Valotalive PWA and a companion extension, called Valotalive PWA Helper.


Step 1: Add the Valotalive PWA

  1. Navigate to the Google Device Manager and go to Apps & Extensions > Kiosks.

  2. Click on "Add by URL"

  3. In the pop-up window, paste the following URL for the Valotalive PWA:
    https://pwa.valota.live

  4. Click Add.

Step 2: Add the Companion Extension “Valotalive PWA Helper”

  1. Next to the newly added "Valotalive Player" PWA, click the Add extension button.

  2. In the search bar, use the following extension ID to find the companion extension:

  3. Select the extension from the search results and click Add.

Step 3: Configure Auto-Launch

  1. From the list of apps and extensions, locate the "Valotalive Player" (PWA).

  2. In the settings for this app, select it as the auto-launch app.

    • This ensures that the Valotalive Player will automatically start when the device boots up.

Step 4: Save and Reboot

  1. Click Save to apply all the changes.

  2. Reboot your device.

    • Note: Sometimes it may take more than one reboot for the content to fully load. It's a good practice to reboot the device twice to ensure all settings are applied correctly and the content begins to display.

Step 5: Verify the Setup

  1. To confirm the setup is correct, go to the Device Information tab for the device.

  2. Under the General section, find "Kiosk app info."

  3. It should display information confirming that the Valotalive Player is running as the designated kiosk app.
