Hi, and welcome again to the ProPresenter show. This is normally the show where I help you learn about propresenter, but today, I’m going to show you an iOS trick that can be used with ProPresenter and the ProRemote app, but doesn’t have to be. My name is Paul Alan Clifford and before we get started, if you’d like to learn more about ProPresenter and related stuff, go ahead and click the subscribe button and little bell icon so you can be the first to learn the new tips and tricks I share.

Over in the ProPresenter Users Group (tdm.fyi/ppug), Jamey Halfast Church asked “Anyone have a trick to stop touch activation on ipad2 with some kind of tape? Scotch, electrical, and gaff tape don’t work…”Here’s why he wanted to do this.

Once you turn on Guided access, you have a couple of other options. You can ignore the last two (Time limits and accessibility shortcut), but in Passcode settings, depending on

This is a handy trick for your kids or for kiosks, too. It just limits functionality, so that apps can only do what you want them to do.

Until next time, this is Paul Alan Clifford from TrinityDigitalMedia.com and ChurchTechU.com…reminding you to go out and change eternity.
