Introducing Chrome OS 76 to The Stable Channel
Hello Chromebook Community,
You should soon see an update on your device for Chrome OS 76! As part of this new release, here’s a list of new features and changes you’ll notice when you update to this new version of Chrome.
Automatic Clicks
Chrome OS has an accessibility setting called Automatic Clicks for users with motor or dexterity challenges. With Automatic Clicks, you can hover over an item and Chrome OS clicks automatically after a certain amount of time. In addition to left click, you can now right click, double click and click and drag, making it easier to be efficient and productive on your Chromebook.
This feature can be used with the touchpad, a connected mouse or joystick, or even head tracking.
Media Control
New media controls make it easier for you to pause or play sound from a tab or an app. You can open your system menu and see all of the tabs or apps on your Chromebook that are playing audio tracks and control them from one place.
Manage Google Accounts on Chromebook
If you use multiple Google accounts on your Chromebook, we’re unifying account management in one place, under Google Accounts in Settings so you can more easily login to all of your accounts and see which accounts you are using on your device and across Chrome and Play Store apps. Access and permissions you’ve granted to apps, websites, and extensions in Chrome and Google Play may now apply to all your signed-in accounts.
You can also view a list of bugs that were fixed here, and you can find more information on switching to beta or developer versions of Chrome OS here.
As always, please share any feedback you have by using the instructions here, and if you encounter any bugs or issues, please feel free to create a new thread on this forum!
Friendly Reminder: This update will be progressively rolling out over the coming days. Your device may not immediately be eligible for this update.
Best,
Alisha on behalf of the Chrome OS team
