Install BadgeScout

Pick your browser above. After installing, the store keeps BadgeScout up to date automatically.

Common solutions

Extension icon not visible

Pin BadgeScout from your browser’s extensions menu so the icon stays in the toolbar.

Notifications are not arriving

Open BadgeScout settings and confirm notifications are enabled. Also check your operating system notification settings for the browser.

Browser notifications are disabled

Allow notifications for Chrome or Firefox in your system settings, then reload the extension.

A badge is missing from the list

Pull to refresh or use Check now. Some campaigns appear only after BadgeScout has confirmed their timing and eligibility data.

Countdown or badge data looks outdated

Use Check now in the extension. If the issue persists, reinstall BadgeScout so it fetches a fresh snapshot from the extension API.

Watchtime timer does not start

Watchtime tracking applies only to supported campaigns. Confirm the badge supports watchtime and that you started the timer from the badge card.

Badge links open BadgeNotify

Badge detail links currently open on the BadgeNotify web surface, which is part of the BadgeScout network.

Change the language

Open the Settings tab in BadgeScout and choose your preferred language, or use the language menu on this website.

Remove or reinstall the extension

Remove BadgeScout from your browser’s extensions page, then install it again from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
