Disable Guest Mode on Chromebook

Without disabling Guest Mode, children can browse the web without Bark's monitoring or filtering in place.

What is Guest Mode?

Guest Mode allows someone to browse the web on Chrome without being signed into an account. Turning it off ensures Bark's monitoring stays in place.

Instructions

  1. Sign into the Chromebook with the owner account.

    šŸ’” Tip: Make the owner account an account that only you have the password for, so that your child cannot edit these settings later.

  2. At the bottom right, click on the clock.

  3. Click on āš™ Settings.

  4. In the "People" section, click on Manage other people.

  5. Turn off "Enable Guest browsing."

  6. Turn on "Restrict sign-in to the following users."

  7. You can add or remove Google accounts from this list. We recommend just restricting it to the account(s) that have already been set up with Bark.

    ⚠ Unable to adjust these settings? If using a Chromebook issued from a school, you may be unable to adjust these settings. Contact the school's IT administrator if needed.
