Google has started rolling out ChromeOS 133 for Chromebooks, an update that includes several minor improvements to accessibility, screen recording, and Bluetooth microphone support.
According to the community announcement, the ChromeOS 133 update will be progressively rolled out over the coming days. “Your device may not immediately be eligible for this update,” says the post. But once it hits your device, here are the new features you can expect:
Bounce Keys: A new feature for people with motor disabilities or who suffer from tremors. When enabled, the system ignores repeated keystrokes within a short, customizable time period, reducing the risk of accidental character inputs.
Screen recording in more languages: ChromeOS’s Screencast feature now supports over 50 languages for transcripts and translations. The full list of supported languages is available on this support page.
Bluetooth Mic Super Resolution: A new audio setting will pop up if your Chromebook supports Bluetooth microphones with Super Resolution. The feature can be enabled through the audio settings and requires a compatible Bluetooth headset. Learn more about what this does and how it’s useful on this ChromeOS development article.
Improved Welcome Tour: When you start your Chromebook for the first time, you’ll see an updated Welcome Tour with new interactive resources, making it easier for new users to get started quickly.
If you don’t have these features yet, wait patiently for the next few days as it’s still rolling out to devices. In the meantime, learn more about the built-in features that make Chromebooks ultra-secure.
