Device Compatibility
Merge is as compatible as possible with as many devices as we can. We are compatible with most recent Apple smartphones and iPads, some Chromebooks, and some Windows devices. See the article below to check the minimum requirements. However, we always recommend testing Merge apps on your student devices to verify compatibility as well.
Downloading Merge EDU apps
See the article below for the most updated Merge EDU app links on their corresponding app stores.
Whitelisting domains
Depending on your Firewall or Proxy, there may be strict limits to what domains and servers students can access. Read the article below to see which domains will need to be accessible from your schools network, so they get access to everything they need to use Merge successfully.
Rostering, Join Codes and SSO
Merge is compatible with the most common rostering tools. If you prefer not to roster, we make it easy to add others to your subscription using Join codes. Read the relevant articles below to learn more.
