1. Create a number of Google Presentations, with 1 slide per presentation. Only 1 slide per presentation, as the kiosk cycles through multiple '''presentations''', and '''NOT''' the slides within a presentation.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
2. Set share permissions on the presentation so that anyone with the link can edit the presentation (or however you want to control editing). Keep this link secret if anyone can edit it.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
3. Via "File" -> "Publish to the Web" -> "Publish" button, get the public key for displaying the presentation, which is in the middle of the presentation link, eg:

<nowiki>https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/</nowiki>'''2PACX-1vTKawnqr671l-BcVQP0_dwK2pQDFdtM5RQZwxsF6hLOGZBk4kRIjcTwF6mCP_sknF12ZzEuBlm6aX1i'''/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
4. Set up a Google Sheet, with each row listing one of the Google Presentations, with columns for each of your kiosks.
 +
 
 +
* Column A: "Display" -- the name of each presentation (eg "Upcoming Event", "Public Service Announcement", "This Week's Seminar", etc.) You can link the name of the presenatation with it's shared editable link for convenience if desired, but not required.
 +
 
 +
* Column B: "URL" -- the public key of each presentation used in the "Publish to the Web" link (just the key, the kiosk page will fill in the rest of the url).
 +
 
 +
* Columns C-?: "<kiosk name>" -- The query key for each of your kiosks, eg. "Lobby", "Dept Office", etc. The cells in these columns indicate the number of seconds used to display each slide on that particular kiosk. Enter zero seconds to hide the slide from that particular kiosk.

Point the pi to the kiosk.html webpage, with its location as a query parameter, eg <code>https://www.bio.fsu.edu/grad/kiosk/kiosk.html?kiosk=King%20Atrium</code>
