Deploy Chromebook Extension

As an administrator, you can easily deploy the Pharos Chome Print extension to all Chromebook or Chrome users using the Google Admin Console. This means that the extension is automatically installed on users' Chromebooks or Chrome browsers.

This document details how to mass deploy the Chromebook extension to all users using the Google Admin Console. This is suitable for organizations using the Google Admin Console to manage their users and devices. Alternatively, you can invite Chromebook users to manually install and configure the Chromebook extension.
