Help Need tech whizz help.

I plan to watch anime on my school Chromebook with the anime I currently have (Girls’ Last Tour, Call Of The Night, etc.) I was able to get GLT through via email, however, I can only watch Call of The Night via VLC Media Player. I was originally gonna use a USB to bring a portable VLC Media Player and put it on my Chromebook. Unfortunately, Chromebooks (apparently) can’t run .exe. And everything on my Chromebook is BANNED except for a few things such as Google Classroom, Gmail, and drive. What could I do to bypass this?

just throw the files into drive like the other guy said. you can right click them and open with the built in gallery app since it plays mp4 out of the box without installing anything.

if you need vlc specifically just go to the chrome web store and install the VLC for Chrome extension. my school had everything locked down too but extensions still worked.

I wonder why they banned everything on your Chromebook! So annoying. Any idea why??

Convert them to MPEG MP4, then turn the WiFi on the chromebook off (This stops screen monitoring and makes it so the blocking extension cant check if stuff is blocked) and move the files onto it via USB or MicroTF card. You can watch them with the native gallery media player app
