Configuring Lost Mode in Google Admin

Securly Classroom's Lost Mode can help you find lost or stolen devices. When active, Lost Mode will automatically launch on a selected Chromebook. With Lost Mode you can:

• Display a custom message to notify the user that the device is lost or missing and where or how to return it
• View the location of a device on a map
• View the current and recent IP Address history of the device
• View screenshots from the device
• Set the device to be locked down to the Lost Mode screen, or to display the screen, but allow the user to choose "Continue using device" to open a browser and use the Chromebook
• Enable an option to allow the user to send a message to the administrator from the Lost Mode screen.
