Install the Chrome Extension
Add the Klipeo extension to Chrome so you can record and let Scout work in tabs you approve.
Before you start: Chrome 118 or later on a computer, and a Klipeo account. The extension is on the Chrome Web Store. Safari and the Mac app's built-in browser cannot load it. In the Mac app, use its native recorder instead.
Install it
The welcome tour
The first install opens a welcome tab. The crew walks you through five steps: sign in to Klipeo, choose Record myself or Let Scout drive, turn on your microphone or camera if you want them, pin Klipeo from Chrome's puzzle-piece menu, and record a first take.
When Chrome asks about the camera or microphone, choose Allow in its box at the top left of the window.
What it can access
At install, Chrome warns about two things: the page debugger, which Scout uses to drive its tab, and reading and changing data on websites, which Chrome shows for any extension with the debugger. The extension starts with access only to Klipeo's own sites and to the tab in front when you open it.
| Access | When it is asked for |
|---|---|
| Klipeo's sites | At install. Checks that you are signed in and delivers takes to Klipeo. |
| The tab in front | When you open the extension. Adds the recording bar, cursor tracking, and blur. |
| A task's sites | When Scout starts a task. A small Klipeo window names the sites; Allow opens Chrome's box. |
| Every site | Only if you choose Allow every site in the tour. |
Remove site access at any time from Chrome's Extensions page, under Site access.
