If the Grammarly icon is not fixed in the lower-right corner of the text field, this may be because Grammarly for Windows and Mac is active in your browser. Only one of our product offerings can be active at a time.
When the Grammarly browser extension is installed, you’ll see a Grammarly icon in your browser toolbar. If the Grammarly icon isn’t visible in your browser’s toolbar, click the Extensions icon and select Grammarly from the list. If the icon is gray, the Grammarly browser extension is turned off, and Grammarly for Windows and Mac may be the active product offering. If you have Grammarly for Windows and Mac installed, you should see a movable widget on your screen once you begin typing in the text field.
You can choose which product offering to use in your browser by clicking the Grammarly icon in your browser’s toolbar and turning the Check text with browser extension setting on or off.
