Google today announced the general availability of Chrome OS 84, which adds a new Explore app, improvements to Overview mode, and more.
Here’s a full list of the new features, according to Google.
Explore the app. Explore is replacing the Get Help app and offers an offline help center and more.
Take photos with the volume buttons. When a convertible Chromebook is in tablet mode, you can now press the volume up or down button to take a photo or start or stop video recording.
Enhancements to saved videos. Videos captured in the Chrome OS Camera app are now saved in MP4 format so they can be more easily shared and used in other apps.
Summary mode improvements. You can now drag a window to the left or right edge to quickly set the split screen in Overview mode. Those with multiple screens can also drag windows between screens while in Description mode.
Linux improvements (Beta). You can now control microphone access in Settings for Linux (Beta). By default, the settings will be disabled.
Improvements in the virtual keyboard. You can now resize a floating virtual keyboard by dragging from each corner.
