MrEprise Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Earlier in the year, I'd set a setting somewhere in the Admin console where it allowed the Impero ChromeOS extension to see the whole screen instead of just the browser window. What I didn't realise is that it prompts the user if they'd like to share their whole screen (you get a prompt that says "Share your entire screen" & "Education Pro Browser Extension MV3 wants to share the contents of your screen".) Knowing Students, they're more likely to click Cancel or ignore the prompt entirely which means the extension doesn't work. The bigger issue is I can't remember what I changed to make it do this nor can I find it either. I feel like the Google Workspace Admin console is very much like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially since they keep changing things around like Microsoft do every season. Has anyone any ideas?
machy Posted March 16 Posted March 16 In the apps settings where you deploy it from there's a section for a JSON config
MrEprise Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 I have found that but it's blank. I do remember the setting being a dropdown with the options being something like "browser only" & "full screen".
MrEprise Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 In fact no, I can't find the JSON config section. I thought I had but it's a section for configuring Permissions and URL access. In fact it looks like Google have redesigned the whole Apps & Extensions config page and the option I want simply isn't there anymore. Really annoying as it seems to be applying to all extensions in the Top-Level of the Domain.
MrEprise Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Thought I'd ask Google Support but they were no help really. Looks like it's a setting Impero (or Ativion in this case) puts into the configuration options for the extension and now the option has disappeared. Aarrgh.
MrEprise Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 I sorted it in the end. If anyone is as silly as me to change this setting without taking notice of what it was and the impact it would have, the setting is "Screen Video Capture" and it would need to be set to "Do not allow sites to prompt the user to share a video stream of their screen" which puts it back to only capturing the browser window and this doesn't require permission from the user.
