During the last Google I / O developer conference, Google announced that it had many new features ready for ChromeOS that would make it easier to work between devices. Starting with ChromeOS 103, which will be released soon, these amazing new additions will arrive on your Chromebook!
Recent Phone Hub photos
We’ve been covering the new Phone Hub for a long time, and most recently, the ability to take a photo on your Android phone and view it on your Chromebook’s shelf tray for quick and easy access to share and manage our radar . Traditionally, you should open Google Photos after backing up your image and then sharing it from the web application. Recent photos will appear on your laptop even if you are not connected to Wifi, as it works via Bluetooth.
Share nearby
Another thing we had a lot of fun playing with the previous version with which you will finally have a chance to play is Nearby Share! Once activated on your phone and Chromebook, you’ll be able to quickly share things from one device to another with virtually no friction. It’s similar to Apple’s Airdrop, and it’s time for Google to have a competitive tool for that. With ChromeOS 103, you can also share your Wi-Fi network and password with your friends or family using Nearby Share – just visit your network settings on your phone, tap the share button, and you’re no longer to write passwords or use the sticker. notes.
Fast couple
Google has big plans to allow users to stream their audio from one device to another, even to add streamed to a Chromebook from any other device, for example. First, though, it brings Fast Pair to ChromeOS Stable without the need for a developer indicator.
Just open the Pixel Buds case and see the pop-up window at the bottom right of your Chromebook’s shelf, as shown below. Then click “Connect” and you’ll hear your audio with little or no effort on your laptop.
Whether you want to use new headphones to watch a video, join a virtual meeting, or listen to music, Fast Pair will do it for you. This feature will be compatible with hundreds of different models of headphones, and counting.
The key word
Screen projection
Finally, the new Screencast app we discovered before your ad is now coming to your device so you can record, trim, and share transcribed videos after they’re automatically uploaded to Google Drive! You can even draw or write on the screen while recording, so you can better explain the concepts to your classmates. If you want to make instructional videos, software demos, presentations or any other form of video tutorial, Screencast is the way to go.
Google claims that later this year, it will add more “Better Together” features to make using your hardware device set in unison easier than ever. Personally, I’m very excited to see that the ability to stream audio to my Chromebook is available, and I’ve complained about the lack of this feature in the past. Notify me when and if you receive update 103, and which feature is your favorite!
