Recommended iPad Settings

Lock all iPad screens in the landscape orientation.

Swipe down from the upper right corner of any screen on an iOS device to access Control Center to lock the screen orientation.
- For more detailed instructions on locking screens to landscape, check out this Apple how-to article.

💡Tip: When presenting from a podium, turn off screen lock on your iPad. Depending on where the HDMI adapter connects, you may need to flip your device. Keeping screen rotation unlocked ensures your iPad display adjusts automatically, making it easier to present.

Lower the brightness on the host iPad to conserve battery.

Swipe down from the upper right corner of any screen on an iOS device to access the Control Center to adjust the brightness.
- For more detailed instructions on lowering the iPad brightness, check out this Apple how-to article.

Set the Auto-Lock setting to 'Never' to prevent devices from going to sleep during a presentation.

This is particularly important for when presenting at conference booths.
- To do this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Make sure Auto-Lock is set to Never.

Set the password for all your iPads to be the same.

Having a generic company password for your iPads will prevent confusion and difficulty accessing your devices.
- To set or update your iPad password on each device, go to Settings, then depending on your iPad model, tap either Face ID & Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.
  - For more detailed instructions to set or update your iPad passcode, check out this Apple how-to article.

Adjust Display Settings

For ideal colour accuracy when presenting, turn off the True Tone and Night Shift settings. To update:
- True Tone, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Toggle off True Tone
- Night Shift, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > ensure Night Shift is set to OFF

Turn off Windowed Apps setting and turn on Full Screen Apps (for iOS 26)

iOS 26 uses a default Windowed Apps setting that lets you resize and move multiple windows. This can cause distractions during presentations, so we recommend switching to Full Screen Apps.
- To update, go to Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > Tap Full Screen Apps
- Read Turn Off Windowed Apps Setting (iOS 26) for more detailed steps.

Recommended iPad Accessories

Apple Pencil
- Using an Apple pencil will help ensure cleaner and more accurate annotations on your VRIFY content during meetings and presentations. You'll just need one for the meeting host/presenter. Ensure the Apple pencil you buy is compatible with your device (newer iPad models will need a 2nd generation pencil).
iPad Case
- Using an iPad Case will prolong the life of your device. Cases protect against drops, scratches, and debris, and are recommended since iPads are brought on-site and will get a high amount of use over time.
HDMI adapter/dongle (compatible with your iPad): We recommend the StarTech USB-C to HDMI adapter. An adapter is needed to plug into a screen on stage. Newer iPads and iPad pros will require a USB-C adapter.
