Getting Started

Overview

The NYSBA Kiosk App runs on an interactive touchscreen kiosk. The kiosk application features inductees of the New York Broadcasters Association in a fun and engaging way. You'll learn more about it in the following pages.

The NYSBA Kiosk App is launched via nysbakiosk.org on the kiosk, at the kiosk location, and when full screen is enabled. Otherwise, you're brought to a splash page that will take you to the admin dashboard.
