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

  • Updated

The Inspera Assessment kiosk app is supported on managed Chromebooks.

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.
The Inspera Assessment kiosk app is available on the login screen, the app is not available when the candidate has logged in.

Important note on Chrome Kiosk Apps

Google is phasing out Chrome Kiosk Apps. According to the notification from Google, Chrome Apps used in managed environments by Enterprise and Education organizations will reach their end of life in October 2028.

The preferred alternative for migrating from Chrome Apps is to build a progressive web application (PWA). Phase 1 of our PWA application has already been launched. The final Phase 2 will be released shortly. You can check this article to understand how to install the PWA application on your managed Chromebooks.

Administered Chromebooks (recommended)

  1. Log into the Admin console for your organisation
  2. Click on Device management
  3. Open Chrome management
  4. Click on Device Settings

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/inspera-assessment-lockdo/jpaaknbngjmabmjefmfpglmpkllcidbg

Use this ID: jpaaknbngjmabmjefmfpglmpkllcidbg

The users in the chosen organisation should get access to the application within one hour. If it takes longer, it might help to restart the device.
