Scroll down then grant Truple the permission to work in incognito. (If this permission is removed, it'll trigger a tamper alert)
-
Grant the screencast permission again as the application has to relaunch in order to have permission to run in incognito mode.
** 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.
