Thank you. So many other tutorials made it seem possible to add our child's account to the school-issued Chromebook to connect Family Link. Even the school sent me a Google tutorial! No--it's too locked down by them. Bummed because I wanted to set hours rather than lock up the device. Anyway, thanks for the definitive answer so I don't waste more time trying. Sending your video to them.
I bought a chromebook for my son for Highschool so I should have full control. When I enable family link it doesn't seem to allow us to add any other accounts other than a Google Classroom email account. I have a small non-for-profit using Google workspaces in which I setup emails for my family members but I am unable to add this account to chromebook after I enable family link. How does one enable the ability to add other accounts?
I use the same chrome book as my child. How to I set up parental controls for his account on my chromebook? He also has a schoole email as a well as a Gmail account I set up for him. And both are accessible from my chrome book. When I set up family link it says to have his device nearby but it's also my device. I don't mind having restricted access on my account either but it doesn't seem to have the capability to restrict our accounts on the same computer
I've got 3 kids with new chrome books (2 younger, not yet). The kids are 9, 9 and 10 and I'd like all the settings to be the same for all 3. Is there a way to copy settings for one to the others. I think I've done a lot for each already, but am manually adding approved websites and that's pretty tedious. Is there a way to bulk add urls I approve and do it for all 3 at once?
I'm finding it hard to set up the thing where you can view the devices location. It says go to Google settings then parental controls but that doesn't exist. There's no option in the location settings. The instructions Google give don't mean anything
Is it normal for a child account on a chromebook to prompt for parent access code when supervsision is stopped When supervision was stopped, the child account started to ask for parent code but the option to generate it didnt even exist. Also, we had to wipe the Chromebook, a stale entry remains in Family Link for maybe 30 days, is this normal, any way to get rid of this entry sooner. Looks like when the stale entry is blocked, it seems to block the active account. Also, time limit seems to double up due to the stale entry
Is it possible to factory reset the chromebook and then use another account to bypass restrictions?

Great video! I am now 100% buying a chromebook for my kids...

Thank you this was very helpful
Thank you for the great video!
How do we find out if a issued chrome has a VPN on it?
Can you configure a Chromebook that has already been setup or does the Chromebook need to have Google Family Link setup from the very start? Thanks
Thanks, very helpful.

What if I don't want to use "FamilyLink"? Are there other ways to set controls?

What can I do for 13 and older?
nothing
You can I use bark for my teen and Apple Parental Control
Hell nah
if you have a chromebook, there is a guest mode you can sign into. it doesnt save history, seaches, watch history,, downloads, and more.
The parental controls you setup are fine but the issue is that you are relying on Google (a privacy nightmare) to do it. Which is very concerning.
So not just you will know what your kids has done but google will also know it and sell it to data brokers.
You just talk and talk no practical video
Chill. Give your child privacy. i hate how you disable guest mode so that your child most literally will not have ANY privacy. CHILL
If you don't understand why parents need to do this, you are probably the reason why we are doing it.
