We don’t have an app build for Chrome OS but since Chromebook now supports the installation of Android apps, you can use Google’s Play Store app on your Chromebook to download and install hide.me VPN app.

To do so, follow the steps below:


 Sign in to the Google Play Store

  1. At the bottom right, select the time.
  2. Select Settings .
  3. In the Google Play Store section, next to Install apps and games from Google Play on your Chromebook, select Turn on.
    Note: If you don’t see this option, your Chromebook doesn’t work with Android apps.  Read why at the bottom of this post.
  4. In the window that appears, select More.
  5. You’ll be prompted to agree to the Terms of Service. When you’ve read and agreed, select I Agree.

Installing hide.me app

Open the Google Play Store app or you can also go to play.google.com.

In the search bar, type in hide.me VPN and when you see our app, click on it. Next, click on the Install button which you’ll then have our app downloaded and installed automatically on your Chrome OS.

That’s it! you’re done.


Why I can’t find the Play Store app and install Android App?

First of all, the Play Store app is only supported on a 2016 (model year) Chromebook and above. List of supported Chromebooks can be found here.

If your Chromebook is on the supported list, you will just need to update your Chromebook’s operating system and the instructions can be found here.

Note: If you’re using your Chromebook at work or school, you might not be able to add the Google Play Store or download Android apps. For more information, contact your administrator.
