If you've added more than one Google account to your Chromebook, you can:
- Switch between accounts without signing out and back in
- Move windows between accounts
Sign in another person
Before you can sign in another person, make sure that you've added the second person to your Chromebook. Then follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Google account.
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select your Google account email.
- Select Sign in another user.
- You'll see a reminder to use this feature only with people that you trust. Select OK.
- Pick a person, then enter their password. You can add up to 5 users.
Note: If you're using your Chromebook at work or school, you might not be able to pick from all available users.
Switch between accounts that you're signed in to
After you've added multiple people, you can switch between them:
- Sign in to your Google account.
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select the person that you'd like to switch to.
All active people share some settings, such as networks. Other settings, such as profile pictures and bookmarks, are specific to each person.
Note: The Google Play Store and any downloaded Android apps are only available for the account that signed in first. To use them with a different account, sign out of all your accounts and sign in with the account that you want to use.
Move windows between people
You can move windows between the Google Accounts that are signed in:
- Make sure that you're signed in to two accounts at the same time.
- Right-click at the top of the window that you want to move. Don’t select a tab.
- Select Move window to.
- Select the account where you’d like to move the window.
Sign out of an account
If you're signed in to multiple Google Accounts on your Chromebook, you can't sign out one by one. You'll need to sign out of all accounts at the same time.
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select Sign out all.
Note: If you’re a Chromebook administrator at your organisation, you can manage multiple sign-in access.
