Administrative guide for deploying Helperbird in your organization. Manage licenses, deployments, and team accessibility.

·

This guide walks administrators through deploying Helperbird across your organization, whether you're using Google Chrome with G Suite or Microsoft Edge with Microsoft 365. Follow these steps to make Helperbird available to all your users automatically.

Before you start: You'll need administrator access to either the Google Admin Console or Microsoft 365 Admin Center.


Deploying on Google Chrome

Step 1: Access Chrome Management

Log into your Google Admin Console at admin.google.com. Navigate to Devices > Chrome > Apps & Extensions.


Step 2: Add the Helperbird Extension

Select the Organizational Unit where you want to deploy Helperbird. Click the + icon, select Add from Chrome Web Store, and enter Helperbird's extension ID: ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme


Step 3: Configure and Deploy

Set the installation policy to Force Install (or your preferred setting). Click Save to deploy the extension to all users in your selected organizational unit.

Tip: If you want to test first, deploy to a small test group before rolling out to your entire organization.


Deploying on Microsoft Edge

Step 1: Access Edge Management

Log into the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Navigate to Settings > Services & Add-ins > Microsoft Edge Management.


Step 2: Add the Helperbird Extension

Under Manage Extensions, add Helperbird's extension ID: bkibfggdahioahpokehoiimdmdjefjmd


Step 3: Configure and Save

Specify your deployment options (such as force install), then click Save to apply the configuration changes.

Tip: Make sure to select the appropriate deployment scope for your organization's needs.


Verifying the Deployment

Step 1: Test on Chrome

Log into a user account within your Organizational Unit and open Chrome. Helperbird should be automatically installed in the extensions toolbar.


Step 2: Test on Edge

Log into a user account and open Microsoft Edge. Check that Helperbird appears in the extensions toolbar.


Step 3: Confirm Functionality

Click on the Helperbird icon to ensure it opens correctly and all features are accessible to your users.

Tip: Changes can take up to 15 minutes to propagate. If users don't see Helperbird immediately, have them restart their browser or wait a bit longer.

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!
