Check the app is allowed the camera: on iPad, Settings › Agoo Kiosk › Camera; on Android, the app's permissions in Settings; in a browser, the icon beside the address.
- Tap Switch camera on the camera screen to try the other camera.
If the wrong camera always opens, change Camera for scanning for the device in ConsoleDevices.
- Make sure the stand or case isn't covering the lens, and that the screen isn't facing a bright window.
- Close the app and open it again.
Good to Know
- Automatic uses the front camera on a tablet in kiosk mode, and the back camera on a phone or a guard device.
- On a kiosk, Switch camera lasts for that visitor; on a guard's device, it stays until switched back.
- Visitor photos and clock-in photos always start on the front camera.
If Something Goes Wrong
- A webcam won't start in the browser. Close any other program using it, then reload the kiosk page.
- Passes won't scan. Ask the visitor to turn their screen brightness up, or find their invitation by name.
