Disclosed are various examples for remotely restricting client devices. A client device can be placed into a restricted mode in which application switching capabilities of the client device are disabled. Additionally, the client device can transmit screen capture data to a management service, which can provide the ability for an administrator user to monitor data shown on a display associated with the client device. The client device can also be removed from the restricted mode in response to a command sent from the management service to the client device.
