How to Monitor Microsoft Edge on Computers

1. Log into the computer under your child's profile.
2. Download or update Edge. 
3. On the top right, click the  Profile icon and sign in with your child's account.
4. On your parent phone or computer, connect your child's email account(s) to Bark. Select Gmail or Outlook and get it connected.
   
   • You know their email password
     Select "I have my kid's password" and enter it in. Allow all permissions.
   • You don't know their email password
     Select "My kid will connect this account" and enter in the email that is signed into Edge. On your kid's computer Edge browser, open their email inbox. Find the email invite with a link to connect accounts to Bark. Select Gmail or Outlook and get it connected.
5. On your kid's computer Edge browser, navigate to  Edge Add-ons.
6. Find and add Bark for Microsoft Edge and Bark for Microsoft Edge Watchdog to your child's Edge.
7. Click the top right menu, click on next to each Bark add-on, and then Manage extension.
8. Toggle on the Allow in InPrivate option for each one.
   
   Don't see that option? It likely means your child's browser has InPrivate Mode disabled (learn more).
9. Browse 5 - 10 sites on your child's Edge browser.
10. Consider disabling Guest Mode.

How can I tell it's set up?

1. Open up your parent app / dashboard.
2. Review the extension status:
   • If on the new UI, tap your child's profile and then on Apps at the top.
   • If on the classic UI, tap on Monitoring under your kid.

Reviewing Alerts 

If Bark detects instances of bullying, sexual content, self-harm, or other worrisome content in your child's Edge web browsing, we will send you an alert.
