The background scrolling extension (specifically the blocks that make the background scroll in any way) suddenly stopped working at all for me.  
I have attached my project, but I don’t think it’s an issue with the project. I think there is something wrong with makecode or the extension. The background scrolling blocks are in the “on game update” block.

You should post your code. I could help if you did! (In a link pls.)

It doesn’t work on school Chromebook. But if you go to the top right of your screen you should see the share and copy link. Meanwhile I will try and get the image to work.

You don’t need to put them on game update  
something like this works just fine, just call it once when you load the game
