Setting up Autonomous Single App Mode (ASAM) for Rooms

About ASAM

Supervised devices, either through the Apple Configurator or Apple's Device Enrollment Program, will support Autonomous Single App Mode (ASAM). You can enable this setting within your MDM provider to regulate displays, or from the Room App directly.

Check with your MDM provider for platform-specific instructions on how to manage your devices in Single App or Autonomous Single App Mode. If you need the app's bundle identifier, use com.robinpowered.rooms.
