You can adjust the device's settings (image blurring, screenshot frequency, etc) from the device settings page at https://app.truple.io/devices
** You'll be required to grant this permission each time the chromebook is turned off then back on. If it occurs more frequently for you, let us know at support@truple.io so we can investigate if there are differences among chromebooks we need to account for. Repeatedly rejecting or ignoring will cause a tamper alert to be sent.
