How to access Labster simulations on a Chromebook (LMS Users)

Instructions for Setting up Labster's App on your Chromebook for LMS users

STEP 1: Download the app on your Chromebook

Visit the Google Play Store, search for Labster, and then download the Labster app. You can also click here to download the app. If you encounter issues installing the app, it may be due to restrictions on school-managed devices. Contact your school’s IT team to enable installation or deploy the app for student use.

STEP 2: Log in to your LMS account or Labster account

If you are accessing Labster through a Learning Management System (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, etc.), you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Open Google Chrome on your Chromebook

  2. Log in to your LMS account/school portal

  3. Find your Labster course

  4. Click on the simulation you want to play

  5. Press the "Play" button

  6. Then select "Play in app"
    ​


    ​

  7. The simulation should start loading in the Labster app


**Note: You may be redirected to a page with a QR code. To the top right of the page, please select the "Open in app" button, and click "remember this option". Then, click "open" to open the simulation through the app:

STEP 3: Play the Simulation

Please keep the application open until the simulation fully loads. Once it loads, you’re ready to play the simulation on your Chromebook.

Enjoy an optimized experience! If you need to pause or exit the simulation at any time, simply press the Menu on the top left corner of the screen. As always, your progress and scores will be automatically saved to your Labster account.

Troubleshooting

If you are redirected to the page with the QR code and do not see the Labster icon needed for completing the set-up, you may need to modify the app settings to allow that open in the app. To do this, we'll need to:
​
1) Right click the Labster App in your Apps
2) Select "App Info"
3) Under "Opening Support Links", select the "Open in Labster App" option
