Hello Chromebook Community,
You should soon see an update on your device for Chrome OS 79! 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.
Lock Screen Media
Now you can control your media right from your lock screen. When you’re listening to audio on your Chromebook, you can play, pause, and skip tracks without unlocking. This new feature works with YouTube Music, Spotify, and dozens of other apps.
Mouse Acceleration Control
This feature allows you to have control over mouse acceleration. You can now manually enable or disable mouse acceleration from Settings.
About Chrome OS
Chromebooks, Chromebases, and Chromeboxes automatically manage updates to ensure your device always has the latest software and security features. Your device’s Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date details can now be found in the ‘About Chrome OS’ section in Settings.
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
