Qustodio for Chromebook Beta version offers the following features:
Apps usage, device usage, and websites visited.
Apps, device and websites.
Device and apps daily quotas and usage schedule.
Please note as Qustodio for Chromebooks is still in a Beta version, some features might not be available yet.
There are two main stages to fully set up Qustodio for Chromebook Beta:
- Installing the Qustodio Kid’s App on your child’s Chromebook. This part protects your child when they use apps on their device.
- Installing the Qustodio Chrome Extension on your child’s Chromebook. This part protects your child while they browse online.
Please complete the steps in the correct order as shown below to ensure full protection. You will need to have your child’s Chromebook to hand as you will be installing protection directly on their device.
Setting up protection
- To start, open your child’s Chromebook session and search Kids App Qustodio in Google Play.
- Click Install.
- Open Kids App Qustodio. If you are already a Qustodio user, choose I have an account. Otherwise select I’m new to Qustodio.
- Carefully read the terms and conditions. You must click Accept All to continue.
- Enter your Qustodio email address and password and click Log in.
- Choose Kid’s Device.
- Enter a name for the Chromebook device and click Next.
- Select who will use this device. Please note, if several children use this device and have their own user sessions, you will have to repeat the process for each child profile/session.
- Next, you will see the permissions Qustodio requires to protect and supervise your child’s device. Follow the instructions on screen. Please allow all necessary permissions.
- Once you have granted all permissions, you will have protected the apps on this Chromebook. You’re now ready to protect your child’s browsing activity. Click Go to Chrome Store to continue.
- In the Chrome Store window that opens, click Add Qustodio Extension.
- Confirm you want to add the extension in the pop up that appears.
- Next, we just have to connect the Qustodio extension to your Qustodio account. To do this, click Connect now.
