How to force install on ChromeOS
Log in to the Google Admin Console

- Select 'User Settings'.
- Select 'Organizations' and choose the organizational unit (OU) to deploy the recorder application to.

Add the Screencast-O-Matic Application
- Under Force-Installed Apps and Extensions, click the 'Chrome Web Store' button.
- Type in "Screencast-O-Matic" into the search box and find the Screencast-O-Matic application. Select "Add" on both to add the Screencast-O-Matic Chromebook application and the Chrome browser extension launcher. Note: only the Chromebook application is required for proper functionality.
