How Can You Install Roblox on a Chromebook at School?

Chromebooks might not handle every game well, but they usually run Roblox and its games quite smoothly. However, the Chromebooks given to students by schools often block Roblox and other games. 

This is because of firewalls and certain disabled settings. But there are some smart tricks that let students play Roblox despite these restrictions. We  will show you how to play Roblox on a school Chromebook.

Essential Tips

• You might play Roblox directly in your browser at https://now.gg/play/roblox-corporation/5349/roblox.
• Consider using a VPN or proxy to bypass your school’s firewall and get Roblox.
• Check out https://apkpure.com/ to download Roblox; it might not be restricted at your school.
• Switch your school Chromebook to developer mode to download the newest Roblox version.

Method 1: Play Roblox in Your Browser

Now.gg offers many games that can be played on less powerful devices, like Chromebooks, directly through the web browser.

Now.gg is the easiest way to play Roblox on your school Chromebook. However, due to its popularity, your school might have blocked it or related websites. 

• If you can’t reach the site, you’ll need to try a different approach. The site might load slowly or not at all because of high user traffic. 
• If it doesn’t load, try refreshing the page. 
• If Roblox still won’t start in your browser, you’ll need to find a download method instead. 
• Remember, you can’t make in-game purchases with the Now.gg version of Roblox.

Method 2: Use a VPN

1. Select a VPN. If Roblox isn’t working on your school Chromebook, it’s probably because the school’s firewall blocks it. You’ll need a VPN to change your IP address and get around these blocks.

A VPN also keeps your online activities hidden, providing extra security and privacy on your school Chromebook. Choosing the right VPN can be tough. Make sure to check all your choices and confirm that your school hasn’t blocked the VPN you want to use.

Some well-known VPNs are NordVPN, Windscribe, and ExpressVPN.

2. Navigate to “Settings” then “Apps” on your Chromebook. Access the Google Play Store from there.
3. Look up your VPN in the Play Store. Most well-known VPNs are available there. Choose and install your preferred VPN app.
4. Start using the VPN. Launch the app, log into your account if needed, and establish a connection.
5. Go back to the Play Store and search for the Roblox app. With the VPN active, you should be able to download and play Roblox on your Chromebook.
6. Open Roblox and log into your account. You can start playing Roblox on your school Chromebook! If Roblox is still inaccessible, try a different approach.

Method 3 Use a Proxy Server

1. Look for a proxy website. A proxy server functions like a VPN but does not secure your data. You can find proxy servers online since many websites offer them.

• Chrome has a proxy server option, but it’s probably blocked by your school.
• Type “proxy” in your Chrome Settings to check for proxy server options and see if you can use this method.
• Be aware that many well-known proxy sites may be blocked at school. Try finding a reliable proxy server from home and input its URL on your school Chromebook’s web browser the next day.

2. Type https://www.roblox.com/ in the URL box of the proxy site. Remember, proxy servers are usually slower than normal browsing. The website might not load correctly at first. 

• If the site doesn’t load after a few attempts, try using the Now.gg link instead.
• Now.gg might work without a proxy server. If it’s blocked at your school, using it might help.

3. Log into your Roblox account and download the launcher.

• Enter your login details, pick a Roblox game to play, and start the launcher on your computer.
• This process may be slower than usual, so please be patient.

Method 4 Download Roblox From Another Site

1. Go to https://apkpure.com/. If your school Chromebook blocks https://www.roblox.com/, search for Roblox on a different site. APKPure is a reliable choice, offering secure downloads for numerous apps and games. If this site is blocked on your school Chromebook, you might want to try using a VPN or proxy server.
2. Enter “Roblox” in the search box at the top-right corner of the page. Roblox is one of the top games on this site, so you could also click on Games and locate it easily near the top.
3. Tap on “Roblox”. It usually appears first in the search results.
4. Press the green button labeled “Download APK”. Allow some time for the game to download. You might want to visit the Google Play Store and get the APKPure app to update your Roblox files regularly.
5. Access the file you downloaded and adhere to the setup instructions provided by the installer. Once the game is installed, you can launch it and start playing Roblox on your school Chromebook.

Method 5 Use Developer Mode

1. Switch your Chromebook to developer mode. This process is straightforward but needs careful handling. Excessive alterations in developer mode might permanently harm your device.

• Begin developer mode by pressing the Escape, Refresh, and Power keys at the same time.
• Then, in recovery mode, press Ctrl + D simultaneously. After that, press Enter.

2. Go to https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/roblox-corporation/roblox/roblox-2-512-415-release/. This site has the latest Roblox versions.

• Download the most recent APK by clicking on it. 
• You might find this link blocked by your school’s firewall, so we use developer mode to access it.

3. After downloading the APK, click to open the file.
4. Follow the setup instructions given by the installer. After installation, click Open, sign in, and start playing Roblox on your school Chromebook!
