Alternating between Xibo and browser in kiosk mode

Hello everyone!

I am trying to set up a “self-service kiosk” using Xibo on Windows 10. My goal is to display a custom slide using Xibo, but when the user interacts with the screen (mouse click or screen touch), I want to switch to Edge or Chrome in kiosk mode to show a specific website.

Additionally, after a certain period of inactivity, I would like the system to automatically switch back to displaying the content from the Xibo player.

Would really appreciate any guidance or advice on this setup. Thanks in advance!

I know there used to be a screensaver mode for Xibo. If it still exists, you could set that and then set the browser to run instead of explorer.

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve started working in that direction with the Saver option and have managed to get something close to what I was aiming for. However, I’ve encountered an issue: when I disable the saver by moving the mouse or pressing a button, the screen goes black unless I press a button again to bring back the desktop. To avoid this, I’m running the Saver.scr file located in the Xibo folder directly with a script that detects inactivity.

Thanks again!
