·

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.

What People Are Saying

Join over 1,000,000 people who use Helperbird every day.

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.

This is a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive. With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the world to some who may not otherwise have received it. Great Work.
