Chromebooks may have trouble with certain games, but they generally handle Roblox well. School Chromebooks often block Roblox and games because of firewall settings. However, there are ways to get around these restrictions. This guide will show you how to play Roblox on your school Chromebook.
Method 1: Play Roblox in Your Browser In 2024
Now.gg hosts various games that can run on simpler devices, including Chromebooks, using a web browser.
Now.gg is the simplest method to access Roblox on your school Chromebook. Yet, due to its widespread use, your school may have restricted it or similar sites.
- If you’re unable to access the website, consider another strategy. The site may experience slow loading or not load at all due to heavy traffic.
- Try reloading the page if it doesn’t load.
- If Roblox does not launch in your browser, you’ll need to look for another way to download it.
- Keep in mind, the Now.gg version of Roblox does not allow in-game purchases.
Method 2: Use a VPN
Choose a VPN
If Roblox isn’t working on your school Chromebook, it might be blocked by the school’s firewall. Use a VPN to change your IP address and get around these blocks.
A VPN also hides your online activities, offering more security and privacy. Choosing the right VPN can be tricky. Check your options and ensure your school hasn’t blocked the VPN you choose.
Some popular VPNs are NordVPN, Windscribe, and ExpressVPN.
Steps to Install and Use a VPN:
- Go to Settings and then Apps on your Chromebook.
- Open the Google Play Store from there.
- Search for your VPN in the Play Store. Most popular VPNs are available. Choose and install the one you like.
- Open the VPN app, sign in if needed, and connect.
- Go back to the Play Store and search for the Roblox app. With the VPN on, you should be able to download and play Roblox.
- Open Roblox and sign in. You can now play Roblox on your school Chromebook!
If Roblox still doesn’t work, try another method.
Method 3: Use a Proxy Server
- Look up a proxy site. It works like a VPN but doesn’t secure your data. Find these sites online. Chrome allows proxy settings, often restricted at school. Type “proxy” in Chrome Settings to check. Note, school might block popular proxies. Choose a reliable proxy, use its URL on your Chromebook at school the next day.
- Enter https://www.roblox.com/ into the URL field on the proxy website. Keep in mind, proxy sites often operate slower than regular browsing. The website may not load properly initially.
- If the website fails to load after several tries, consider switching to the Now.gg link.
- Now.gg could function without a proxy. If blocked at your school, it might be useful.
- Sign into your Roblox account and initiate the launcher download.
- Input your login information, select a Roblox game, and launch it on your device.
- This might take longer than expected, so patience is required.
Method 4: Download Roblox From Another Site
Visit https://apkpure.com/. If your school Chromebook blocks access to https://www.roblox.com/, try another site like APKPure. APKPure offers safe downloads for many apps and games. If APKPure is also blocked, consider using a VPN or proxy server.
- Go to https://apkpure.com/.
- Type “Roblox” into the search field at the top-right corner. Roblox is popular on this platform, so you might also find it quickly under Games.
- Click on “Roblox” in the search results.
- Tap the green Download APK button. Wait for the download to finish. You might want to get the APKPure app from the Google Play Store to keep your Roblox files updated.
- Open the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions. After installing, you can open Roblox and start playing on your school Chromebook.
Method 5: Use Developer Mode
- To enable developer mode on your Chromebook, follow these steps cautiously. Press Escape, Refresh, and Power buttons together to start. In recovery mode, press Ctrl + D, then Enter. Access the latest APK download link, which may be blocked by your school, hence the need to activate developer mode.
- After you download the APK, click to open it.
- Follow the installation instructions provided. Once installed, click Open, log in, and begin playing Roblox on your school Chromebook.
