BetaInstall needed
What you need
- Use a paid Claude plan and Google Chrome. Check the official Claude pricing page for current plan details.
How to install
- Open the official Chrome Web Store listing called Claude and verify that the publisher is Anthropic.
- Click Add to Chrome, then pin the extension and sign in with your Claude account.
- Start with manual approvals and allow only the sites needed for the task.
- Open a harmless page and confirm the extension can read it before allowing actions.
Nuances
- Edge is not supported, even though it is Chromium-based. If your company standardises on Edge, Chrome must be installed alongside it.
- Claude in Chrome is on by default for Team, and for Enterprise unless an Owner already disabled it; in HIPAA-enabled organisations it stays off until an Owner turns it on. Owners use the Enable for your team toggle at Organization settings > Claude in Chrome, plus site allowlists and blocklists.
- IT can force-install the extension with Chrome policy
ExtensionSettingsorExtensionInstallForcelist. - There is no Claude app for Microsoft Teams. Teams content is reached through the Microsoft 365 connector, subject to your existing permissions.
If it will not work
- If the store or the extension is blocked, ask IT to allow it. They will need the extension ID
fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn, which is also in the IT page at the end of this guide. - If it opens but cannot act, check the site's permission and your organisation's Claude in Chrome setting.
- If it is still blocked, ask IT to test the policy with your managed Chrome profile.
