Deploy Community on Windows devices

This article explains how to deploy Community to school-managed Windows devices, allowing you to turn on specific Community features. These features let guardians control and see what their children do on school-managed devices outside school hours. Guardians can monitor usage, get summaries and timelines, and pause internet access.

Before you begin

1. You have managed Windows devices.
2. You use devices that meet Linewize Connect Minimum System Requirements.

Deployment methods for Connect for Windows

Install the Connect for Windows application (version 4.2.2 or later) to your student's Windows devices.

Connect for Windows can be installed through three different methods:

• Automated Browser Policy Deployment
• Microsoft Intune Deployment
• Group Policy Deployment

Configure Community features in School Manager

You can set up optional Community features such as Student Usage and Insights, Student Timeline, Weekly Parent Insights, Pause Internet and Parental Controls.

Qustodio Install

When you turn on Parental Controls in School Manager, and a parent creates a new Qustodio account or turns on Parental Controls (Rules) in their Qustodio account, the Connect for Windows application installs the Qustodio application on your students' devices.

Qustodio Uninstall

When you turn off Parental Controls in School Manager, the Connect for Windows application will uninstall the Qustodio application from your students' devices. This happens when the parent opts out of Parental Controls (Rules) in their Qustodio account or if you turn off Parental Controls.
