Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We may from time to time be involved in certain legal proceedings and regulatory compliance matters in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights; employment claims; and contractual and related disputes brought through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. We may also, from time to time, be involved in various legal or government claims, demands, disputes, investigations, or requests for information. Such matters may include, but not be limited to, claims, disputes, or investigations related to warranty, refund, breach of contract, employment, intellectual property, government regulation, or compliance or other matters. On February 24, 2025, we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Google, asserting federal antitrust claims and common-law unjust enrichment claims, in connection with Google's expansion of its AIO search experience, and seeking damages, restitution, disgorgement, and injunctive relief. Google moved to dismiss the amended complaint on July 25, 2025. Given the nature of the case, including that the proceedings are in their early stages, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the case. On March 1, 2023, Plaintiff Shiva Stein, derivatively on behalf of Chegg, filed a stockholder derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Case No. 2023-0244-NAC) asserting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate asset claims against members of Chegg’s Board and certain Chegg officers. On January 20, 2026, the Court entered an Order dismissing this matter without prejudice pursuant to a stipulation of the parties. Effective March 4, 2026, Chegg entered into a Settlement Agreement with Stein and certain other Plaintiffs (including Robinson and Choi, as described below). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs released their claims, and Chegg agreed to certain governance changes and that Chegg or our insurance carrier will pay the fees of Plaintiffs’ counsel. Chegg’s insurance carrier made the payment to Plaintiffs and the matter is now closed. On December 22, 2022, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMC) asserted a demand for repayment by the Company of certain investment proceeds received by the Company in its capacity as an investor in TAPD, Inc. (more commonly known as “Frank”). JPMC seeks such repayment pursuant to certain provisions in the existing Support Agreement between JPMC and the Company that was entered into in connection with JPMC's acquisition of Frank. JPMC has alleged fraud on the part of certain former Frank executives regarding the quantity and quality of its customer accounts. Although the Company is not alleged to have made or participated in any of the allegedly false or fraudulent statements, it is pursuing resolution with JPMC of JPMC's claims related to the Support Agreement. On March 30, 2022, Joseph Robinson, derivatively on behalf of Chegg, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against Chegg and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duties. On February 22, 2023, Plaintiff filed an Amended Shareholder Derivative Complaint. This matter has been consolidated with Choi, described in more detail below. Effective March 4, 2026, Chegg entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Plaintiffs (including Stein and Choi). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs released their claims, and Chegg agreed to certain governance changes and that Chegg or our insurance carrier will pay the fees of Plaintiffs’ counsel. Chegg’s insurance carrier made the payment to Plaintiffs and the matter is now closed. On January 12, 2022, Rak Joon Choi, derivatively on behalf of Chegg, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against Chegg and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations of securities laws, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets.

Chegg’s insurance carrier made the payment to Plaintiffs and the matter is now closed. We record a contingent liability for loss contingencies related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, we record an insurance loss recovery up to the recognized loss contingency when realization is probable. As of March 31, 2026, the net impact of contingent liabilities less the related insurance loss recovery is $7.0 million for the above matters that met such thresholds for recording a liability. For those matters upon which we have sufficient insurance coverage, we have recorded contingent liabilities within accrued liabilities and the loss recovery from insurance within other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are not aware of any other pending legal matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, which are expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Our analysis of whether a claim will proceed to litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, nor can the results of litigation be predicted with certainty. Nevertheless, defending any of these actions, regardless of the outcome, may be costly, time consuming, distract management personnel and have a negative effect on our business. In the ordinary course of business and for certain of the above matters, we are actively pursuing all avenues and strategies to resolve these matters, including available legal remedies, remediation and settlement negotiations with the parties. An adverse outcome in any of these actions, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on our future business, operating results or financial condition.
