How to Automatically Start Conferfly in Kiosk Mode When Computer Starts

Introduction: Ensure a smooth and automated startup of Conferfly in Kiosk Mode in your conference room on a Windows computer by following these steps. There is no need to open the Chrome app manually after a reboot.

Step 1: Creating a Conferfly Shortcut

1. Right-click on the Chrome app icon on your desktop.
2. Select “Copy” from the context menu.
3. Right-click on the desktop and choose “Paste shortcut.”
4. Rename the shortcut to “Conferfly.”
5. Right-click on the shortcut and select “Properties.”
6. In the Target field, append the following:

--kiosk --kiosk-printing "https://conferfly.com"

The texts in the target field will look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk --kiosk-printing "https://conferfly.com"

7. Click “OK” to save the changes.

Step 2: Setting Up Automatic Startup

1. Right-click on the Start button (Windows icon) at the bottom-left corner of your screen.
2. Select “Run” from the context menu (or just type “run”).
3. In the Run dialog, type or copy and paste the following command:

shell:startup

4. Press Enter or click “OK.”

5. This opens the “Startup” folder in File Explorer.

6. Copy or drag and drop the “Conferfly” shortcut into the “Startup” folder.

Step 3: Testing Automatic Startup

Important: Before testing, ensure that Chrome is not set to auto-start in Windows. To check, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then navigate to Task Manager > Startup, and disable Chrome if it’s set to auto-start.

1. Restart your computer.
2. After the restart, Conferfly should automatically launch in Kiosk Mode.

Note: Ensuring Room Lock in Conferfly

Always remember to lock the room in Conferfly, ensuring that Conferfly automatically redirects to the designated locked room upon startup.
