Installing Faronics Insight
Now you're ready to install the Insight Chromebook Student software.
1. Log into your Chromebook.
2. Once you are logged in, click on the "apps" icon
3. Then click on the "store" icon.
4. In the Google Web Store, search for "Insight". You should see two applications listed: Insight
Student and the Insight Web Helper extension. You want to select the "Insight Student". The
Web Helper extension will be discussed below.
If you can't find the application in the store, you can go directly to it by entering the following
URL:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/Insight-student/ifeifkfohlobcbhmlfkenopaimbmnahb?authuser=1
5. This should take you to the Chrome student installation page.
6. On the installation page, click the "+ FREE" button to begin the installation process.
7. This will bring up a dialog asking if you want to install "Insight Student". If you agree to the
permissions it uses, click the "Add" button to begin the install. It will take a few minutes to
download. Once it's complete you should see the apps list showing the Insight student icon.
8. On most installations, the Insight student will start automatically once it's finished installing,
if it does not, clicking on the icon in the apps window will start it. Once it's loaded, you should
see the Insight icon in your task tray.
Important Note: If you enabled the "getUserMedia" feature described above, you will be greeted
with a message that says "Do you want Insight Student to share your screen?". This is a security
feature of Chrome and will only be asked once each time the student starts up. Selecting "Yes" will
allow thumbnails of the Student screen to be sent to the Teacher. Selecting "No" will disable the
thumbnail feature. If you select "yes", you will then be given a small window that bottom left that
says "Insight Student is sharing your screen". Clicking on the "x" in this window will safely
dismiss the window without affecting the functionality of the student.
9. For the Web limiting, Web History, and Run URL features you will also need to install the
Insight Web Helper plugin (mentioned above). Installation of the Web Helper extension is
similar to the Student.
10. Searching the Chrome Web Store for "Insight" should bring up the "Insight Web Helper"
extension. If you can't find it, open Chrome to the following URL:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/Insight-web-helper/honjcnefekfnompampcpmcdadibmjhlk?authuser=1
