How to Install Gmail Add-ons

Gmail add-ons like any other add-ons are extra tools that are designed to make Gmail do more than it was originally designed to do. Rather than toggling between your inbox and other apps, use these add-ons to complete actions right from Gmail.

But before you can use an add-on you must install it in your gmail account. The process to install is built right into Gmail. The beauty of these Gmail add ons is that they’ll work across all platforms with your Gmail account.

How To Install Gmail Add-ons

Log in to your Gmail account on any web browser. Then click on the cog Settings settings icon in the upper right side.

Installing a Gmail add on will require you to give certain permissions to that add on accessing your Gmail account. Permissions vary with different add-ons and they’ll be well listed for you before you can access them.

How To Uninstall Gmail Add-ons
