Introduction

There are two ways to install the ClassroomAPP extension for Google Chrome for your users:

From the Chrome Webstore
Directly via update URL

Webstore vs Direct

The reason we recommend a direct install is that the Chrome webstore goes through a long review cycle (mainly due to resources) to update a control extension. You may experience delays of up to 2 weeks before you get the latest version.

A direct install however will update your devices within a few hours (typically upon start up, when users log in or every few hours for logged in users)
