Install Accountable2You for Chromebook

Before you begin, ask these questions to make sure this is the correct guide: 

• Are you installing this Chrome extension on a Windows, Mac, or Linux device?
  • If yes, you don't need this extension. Use the hyperlinks shown above to install our whole-computer monitoring for those devices instead. 

• Are you an administrator for your organization, deploying Accountable2You to all of your managed Chromebook devices?
  • If yes, you'll most likely want to use the "School Edition" of this same Chromebook extension, found here.

Step 1: Add the Accountable2You extension to your Chrome browser

1. From your Chrome browser, follow this direct link to see the Chrome Web Store results for Accountable2You.
2. Choose Accountable2You from the list of search results.
3. Select the blue Add to Chrome button.
4. On the confirmation prompt that appears, select the Add extension button.

Step 2: Register the extension with Accountable2You

A new tab should open automatically, and you’ll be presented with a screen similar to the one shown below.

Already have an active account with Accountable2You?

Step 3: Register the Chromebook to your account

For the software to successfully capture activity and add it to the reports, you’ll need to sign in and register the Chrome extension to your existing Accountable2You account.
