The current setting options are different from those introduced in the video. The plug-ins are more complicated. Where can I view the latest tutorials?

Nicely done, Laura. I did notice that the link to the Shortcut Reference requires permission to access. Could you please set that document for public access? Thanks!

Thanks, Laura, I love these options, they are really awesome!
I just wanted to be able to change the screen dpi, making everything look bigger (or smaller) without having to use a lower resolution with less crispy items, just like it is possible now on Android Nougat. If you guys manage to do this, that would be great! =)

This might be six years old but accessibility is still an everyday struggle for me. Its so mixed across so many platforms x)
What are the current keyboard/touchpad and touchscreen methods to zooming? I am considering to get a Tablet and install ChromeOS on it as I like having both Android apps and Linux apps at my disposal. Now all that is left is to properly know how to zoom. Its pretty hard to emulate a touchscreen in a virtual maschine on a standard desktop PC, so I have to ask around...

awesome video can you do a video on the task manager on the side of the screen mines is so small

[avinbajalan]

enyone seeing this you must save this into a folder its super usefull if u have a kid or a new born baby because they will mess up your computer / laptop screen ALOT OF TIMES recomand this

Thank you, Laura. My HP 14" Chromebook monitor is very light compared to the 11" (same year). How do I make the monitor colors more vivid? Is there a way? Thank you.

How do you adjust the screen brightness on chromebook?

[firandcurly]

how do I close a mini window or good pop up, or remove the black bar at the bottom, I cant access the lower half of the window no matter how small or large the resolution is.

The windows mouse magnifier is best. Not apparently available in chromebook?
2ndly, it's a royal pain in the butt that text doesn't reflow to limit horizontal scrolling when in zoom mode. Sighted people have no clue how annoying this is, constantly having to shift the page so you can read the entire line.

This is too old now for some features for example at approximately 3:00 she talks about accessibility in the Chrome settings. At least in my version, these are no longer there. Instead, I have the option to go to the Chrome Web Store for extensions.

How can I make the menu bar texts bigger without changing other texts?
