Video Kiosk is designed to be reliable, playing your media in a loop without any configuration. However, there are many additional features you can configure.
If you have not configured otherwise, Video Kiosk will do the following:

Default Screen Mode – Displays in Full Screen Mode.

Default Playback – When started, Video Kiosk will automatically start playing the content loop, in the default Playback Order. Video Kiosk will also automatically start playing the content loop upon waking from sleep.
Default Playback order – Plays the contents of the Media Folder in the order of either the first playlist it finds in the Media Folder or, if a playlist is not found, the media folder contents in alphabetical order by full path name.

Default Image display time – Display any images in the Media Folder for 30 seconds.
Default web page display time – Display web pages for 30 seconds.

When scheduling is used – If a schedule is being used, Video Kiosk will play the content loop only when scheduled. If there is no scheduled event, Video Kiosk will, by default, dim the screen.

The Home App is the app that an Android device will return to when the Home button is pressed and will launch when Android is restarted.
