Getting started with your new Chromebook or finding new experiences on your existing one can be tricky.

shared this tip a few times use PWAs
'create a shortcut’ trick << I recommend this over installed apps

should also note
don’t forget that you’ll want to create a shortcut out of the login page (not the homepage) for each of these so that if you remain logged in, you will always be brought straight to your dashboard for that site
a good tip from that article
bookmarked...my slate arrives thursday and I don't know anything bout chromeos
@opie 👍
my chromebook doesn't have any android ability cause old
but i'd still do the PWA over installing apps if it did
you can basically do it with any website you want
I just wanna cast streaming stuffs
yeah, I think I'll be OK...chromeos has full desktop browser, so I can just go to sites and cast em, yeah?
@opie yeah
cast as full desktop or cast as tab only
tab is best unless you are not multitasking and need to see full desktop
I let ya know how it goes when I start to play
and you can do the same on Android via chrome browser
open website tap three dots top right and "add to home page"
you will then see an app icon show in the app drawer for the site
sets a site as a PWA and gives you an app experience for that site without installing an actual app
