How to install the Inspera Assessment lock-down browser for Chromebook – Inspera Help Center

The Inspera Assessment kiosk app is supported on managed Chromebooks.

Warning! There is a bug in ChromeOS version 97.0.4692.77, 98.0.4758.91 and 99.0.4844.14. that will likely cause the Kiosk App to not work properly. To work around this issue, we recommend that you use other versions.

Changes in Google's support model means that Inspera Assessment lockdown browser cannot be installed on unmanaged devices from 2017 or later.
