When downloading Zoom on your Chromebook make sure to pick the correct app. It should say https://zoom.us in the “offered by” section. Image attached for the correct application. 3. We are noticing some issues with our Chromebooks and Hughesnet Internet. This is a tip from a district in PA. “We recommend you contact Hughesnet Support (1-866-347-3292) for instructions on making the following setting changes. a. Disable IPV6 address conversion b. Disable any Web Acceleration or Turbo” 4. Staff, students, and families can receive Michigan educational prices on devices for personal use!!!
