Does not work at all for me using my hovercam flex 8 document camera. When I click on the app, with my camera plugged in, it shows purple hovercam logo. PLEASE FIX THIS. I have a google chrome OS.

The school put this on my school Chromebook and then when I went onto my own gaming laptop to look up something, I realized it was on my own laptop on my own account and when i went to remove it long behold... it said I couldn't

I just taught a fellow educator how to use algebra tiles with this. Using google hangouts it helped share a document, sent a clear image, and kept up with my handwriting and movements. Easy to download and was working within seconds!
