Bliro Desktop App: Technical Onboarding Guide

Welcome to the Bliro Desktop App Technical Onboarding Guide. This guide is designed to assist the technical team in successfully installing and configuring the Bliro desktop application within your corporate infrastructure.

Overview

To successfully install and configure the Bliro Desktop App, please follow the steps outlined below. Some steps are optional depending on your company’s infrastructure.

Install the Bliro Desktop App

Install .msi in system context [Windows]

If you centrally manage the distribution of Bliro Desktop app to your users, you might want to install the app on the device’s system context rather than user context. To do so, you can install the Bliro-Setup.msi installer via the following command:

msiexec /i "Bliro.1.12.0.msi" /q /norestart

Deploy via MDM in system context [macOS]

When Bliro is deployed via MDM (e.g., Jamf Pro) and installed in the system context using the .pkg installer, standard users without local administrator rights will be prompted for admin credentials each time the app launches. This is caused by the Privileged Helper Tool that Bliro uses for automatic updates, which requires write access to the /Applications folder.

To prevent this prompt, deploy a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) configuration profile via your MDM that pre-approves the Bliro helper tools. This is a one-time MDM configuration that requires no action from end users.

Create a PPPC profile with the following settings:

  • Team ID: KR45L5RXJX

  • Service: SystemPolicyAllFiles

  • Access: Allow

Apply these settings to each of the following bundle IDs:

  • de.bliro.bliro-desktop

  • de.bliro.bliro-desktop.helper

  • de.bliro.bliro-desktop.helper.GPU

  • de.bliro.bliro-desktop.helper.Renderer

  • de.bliro.bliro-desktop.helper.Plugin

Steps in Jamf Pro:

  1. Go to Computers > Configuration Profiles > New

  2. Select Privacy Preferences Policy Control from the payload list

  3. Click Add and fill in the following for each bundle ID above:

    1. Identifier: (bundle ID)

    2. Identifier Type: Bundle ID

    3. Team ID: KR45L5RXJX

    4. App or Service: SystemPolicyAllFiles

    5. Access: Allow

  4. Assign the profile to the relevant computers or device groups

  5. Save and deploy

Once the profile is deployed, users will no longer be prompted for admin credentials on launch.

Allowlist Bliro domains at firewall level

To ensure the Bliro Desktop App functions properly, it must communicate with Bliro servers over the internet. If your organization restricts internet access by default, please allowlist the following domains for all users/devices who will run Bliro Desktop App:

Allowlist Bliro URLs at SSL interception level

Bliro servers, particularly authentication servers, verify SSL encryption integrity. If SSL interception is detected, requests from the client may be blocked. If your organization uses SSL interception, please allowlist the following domains:

Proxy

For organizations using proxies, Bliro can be configured to work with both authenticated and non-authenticated proxies. Bliro works out of the box with the following proxy configurations:

  • Auto-Detect via WPAD files (server-side)

  • Manual configuration (fixed_servers, client-side)

  • Direct - No proxy required

  • System - Proxy settings taken from operating system settings

  • Dynamic via PAC scripts (server-side)

Grant Calendar Access

Bliro works best when integrated with users' calendars. This allows Bliro to remind users to log meetings as they start, prefill meeting details from calendar events, and provide better meeting summaries with enhanced AI-driven context.

Bliro supports integration with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.

Microsoft Outlook Integration

To enable Bliro to access Microsoft Outlook calendars, users must be able to grant Bliro the following permissions:

Google Calendar Integration

To enable Bliro to access Google Calendar, users must be able to grant Bliro the following permissions:
