Install the Bark for Chromebooks App

Monitor photos and videos saved to your kid’s Chromebook and filter their Chrome browsing with the Bark for Chromebooks app available on Google Play.

Note: If the Chromebook doesn’t support this app, you won’t be able to monitor saved photos and videos. Fortunately, you are still able to monitor Chrome browsing for inappropriate content with the Bark for Chrome extensions installed previously. You can also set up filtering of any internet-connected device (like smart TVs, gaming consoles, etc) with Bark Home.
