2. Select Windows 10 and later for platform

3. Name it "Chrome - Ploy Extension" and click Next

4. In Configuration settings, search for Chrome

5. Find and enable Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions

1. Click Show Options or +Add

2. Paste this value:

onophcmaogkfmemihdicghifbojhhkik;https://ploy-chrome-extension.s3.amazonaws.com/extension/v2/update-manifest.xml

1. Click OK, then Next

2. Assign to the same test group you used for the PowerShell script

3. Review and create the policy

Step 4 – Verify on test devices

On a test Windows device:

2. Quit and reopen Chrome completely

3. Confirm the Ploy icon appears in the toolbar

4. Visit chrome://extensions – Ploy should show as "Installed by your organization"
