More specifically, adding those out-of-the-box so that users can jump right in and use them from the first startup.<br \/>\nHow do we know Google Meet and Chat will be a pre-install?<br \/>\nNow, the two apps in question, at this point, need very little introduction. Summarily, these are Google\u2019s web-based chat and video call platforms. But these apps are also not the most widely-used, as of this writing.<br \/>\nWith Google Meet and Chat available as a pre-install on the Chromebook platform, the apps will be getting a lot of free publicity. At least for those who buy a new Chromebook after this launches. Although they\u2019ll presumably land on older devices too via an update.<br \/>\nAdditionally, those that use the apps won\u2019t need to search them up and install them anymore. And, since PWAs take up less storage, that\u2019ll be without sacrificing the often low storage allotment of those Chromebooks.<br \/>\nIn the interim, the addition of the two apps as PWAs was initially spotted in a commit merged in the Chromium Code. Tucked behind feature flags, the code comes complete with an intended release date too. So, barring any unforeseen problems, the company already knows when it wants to add these two apps.<br \/>\nSo when are these coming?<br \/>\nAs noted by the source, once the new apps are added as a pre-install, the easiest way to get them on an older Chromebook will be to perform a powerwash. That\u2019s after the update arrives and if Google doesn\u2019t add the features to older Chromebooks automatically as part of the update. But they should be coming to brand new Chromebooks out-of-the-box. Specifically, that\u2019s once Chrome OS 92 launches. Chrome 92 is slated for arrival on July 27.<br \/>\nThe post Google Is Adding Meet &amp; Chat To The Chromebook Pre-Install Line-Up appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Top-Chromebook-Apps-DG-AH-2020.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Chromebook buyers will have a few new pre-install apps at their disposal in the near future, reports indicate, with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":7354,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7353"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7355,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7353\/revisions\/7355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
