The Pear Deck Power-Up is a free Google Chrome extension that ensures videos, animations, and GIFs on Google Slides play at full resolution during an Instructor-Paced Session. As a Google Workspace administrator, you can push the extension to all teachers automatically or allow users to install it on their own. The Power-Up is available only for users who sign in to Pear Deck with a Google account.
The Pear Deck Power-Up is a Manifest V3-compliant extension. No additional configuration is required to support Manifest V3 for the Power-Up.

​
Automatically Install the Power-Up for All Users

Use the Google Admin console to push the Power-Up to every teacher’s Google Slides across your domain. This approach installs the extension on every device without requiring any action from teachers. Follow Google’s instructions to force-install the extension: Install Google Workspace Marketplace apps in your domain

​
Allow Users to Install the Power-Up Individually

If you prefer to let teachers install the Power-Up themselves, configure your domain’s allowlist so users have permission to add it from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Follow Google’s instructions to update your allowlist: Add Google Workspace Marketplace apps to your allowlist
