Sick of downloading Android apps to your Chromebook?

Chrome OS was not particularly, shall we say, present at the Google I/O event on Wednesday, but there was one neat announcement: You can now stream apps to a Chromebook from an Android phone. This is something you could already do in Windows, but it’s nice to see Chrome OS hopping on the train.

To get this set up, Google’s instructions say to make sure Phone Hub is enabled on your Chromebook and that you’re running Android 13 or newer.
