Enabling Google Play apps for Chromebook in Google Workspace

[@atlanticimages7963]

A HUGE thanks for this...after a long chat with Google Pixelbook help they had NO IDEA what to do apart from suggesting a "hard reset"...I hoped there would be someone out there who might know better....excellent stuff.

[@SixfiveAu]

Glad it helped!

[@DMP-gs9su]

I've literally been trying to figure this out for 3 years and now working! Amazing, thank you!

[@SixfiveAu]

Great to hear!

[@blindseerco]

This is amazing! Thank you so much, I've been trying to fix this for literally months and this step by step video is exactly what I needed.

[@SixfiveAu]

Happy to hear it helped!

[@AlexanderAlemayhu]

Finally got this resolved on my new chromebook, thank you!

[@SixfiveAu]

Great to hear - its a nightmare and the process is not smooth onboarding Android on to Chromebooks.

[@jonathanchristian5433]

thank you so much for posting this

[@georgepopovich3863]

You are a STAR!

[@SixfiveAu]

Glad that helped! I’ll be diving into more Chromebook management stuff soon.

[@StefanMehlhorn]

Thank you so much for this video! I couldn't find the information about having to add the Android management subscription first and hence never got this option in the device - app & extension setting screen. Now everything is working as expected. Thanks again.

[@SixfiveAu]

Perfect, glad we could help!

[@anchorwithincounseling7380]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have been trying to get this sorted for our chromebooks for the past month. The Google help center was NOT helpful.

[@SixfiveAu]

Great stuff - it took us a while to figure out too!

[@lazybeaver2447]

thank you! been googling this ALL DAY

[@SixfiveAu]

Glad I could help!

[@erbrdr]

Hi, thx a lot, i just allow the android management, but in users & browsers, i don't have the Play store part.. just the chrome web store, any ideas ? THks !

[@SixfiveAu]

Did you also enable the Android management? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJCXoaiZl6-Nnbs

[@erbrdr]

@@SixfiveAu Yes i did that less than 24h, maybe it takes time to appears ?

[@anthonyyenshaw8666]

@@erbrdr Did the Play Store part ever appear? Seeing the same issue. thx

[@s4xton]

@@anthonyyenshaw8666 @erbrdr @SixfiveAu if for some reason this is still happening to you a year later, as it did with me, I had to remove the subscription to Android Management, re-add it, and then the option appeared.

[@keir-nordic-herbs]

Thank you so much this exactly what I needed!

[@SixfiveAu]

Glad it helped!

[@kimevans908]

Great tutorial thank you, but I have the same problem as erb rdr.... I have android device mgmt subscription but when i get to the Additional Application Settings in Users and Browsers, I do not have that part to 'allow'. My section starts with Allowed types of apps and extensions. Is there a way to fix this or another way to do it? Thank you!

[@SixfiveAu]

Do you have 'Managed Google Play' enabled in Apps > Additional Google services?

[@ikweby9169]

Gread video - Quick question - Do you assign the App's on the OU with the Chromebooks in, or the OU with users? Many Thanks

[@SixfiveAu]

Hi Danny, You would put the app settings in the OU with the user. At the end of the day, if the Chromebook changes hands and is used by multiple people it can behave differently based on the human - therefore your settings should be based on the person, their role and level of access.

[@fr.davidelias8676]

Thank you so much. Very valuable!

[@SixfiveAu]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leoluno]

Sorry, I did not get it quite right. Does it mean as long as you have Google Workspace subscription you can enable Play Store in all Chromebooks ? Dell Chromebook 11 3120 model ( as per google info 3180 model has it enabled). New to this OS, been reading , researching, but there are some conflicting answers. Also noticed that in this video description you mentioned this tutorial is only for Super Admins and owners of Google Workspace in their company. So if I subscribe to Google Wspace, will I be able to "turn this feature on or bring it to life" even if Chromebook does not support Play Store? Thanks in advance.

[@SixfiveAu]

I'm not aware that specific Chromebooks do not support the Play Store apps - that would be research you would need to complete on that particular model. If the model does not support it, I don't think that activating it in Google Workspace will result in the Chromebook getting that feature.

[@sharonnelson127]

Thanks so much for this informative video. Quick question: how does the "Managed Google Play" app that you said to click work in a our school district that has Google Workplace for Education and Android Management subscriptions? As IT Support, it is helpful to have a strong understanding of all the apps and install options. Very helpful video!

[@SixfiveAu]

The Managed Google Play app enables the ability to manage Android apps on your user's devices. It's not an app that your users will see, it simply enables the ability within Google Workspace.

[@liviodaina5094]

tks so much

[@SixfiveAu]

No problem! Keep an eye out for some other chromebook management videos soon!

[@vernonmartin4327]

How do u get to that page yr on now I'm A beginner

[@SixfiveAu]

This is accessible via your admin.google.com control console for your Google Workspace subscription.

[@aimutch]

If you enable the Play Store, how do users access that on the Chromebook? I don't see that appearing as an icon for quick access.

[@SixfiveAu]

Pretty quickly, it will start installing once everything is in place. Did you enable the Android management? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJCXoaiZl6-Nnbs

[@ColegioCerroGrande]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@SixfiveAu]

No problem!
