basic changing in Chrome OS 96 :

  • Significantly Expanded An application features to work with the camera. The program has a separate mode for scanning documents, allowing you to use the front or rear chamber instead of the scanner. In the process of scanning, the program automatically determines the boundaries of the document to trim the unnecessary background. The resulting document can be saved in PDF or JPEG format, send to a social network or Gmail, transfer to the smartphone using the Nearby Share function.

    When connecting to Chromebook an external chamber added support for adjustment of the angle of inclination and approximation / deletion using the “PAN-TILT-ZOOM” settings block to select the visible image area.


    In the program to work with the camera, the “Video” mode is also proposed for quick video recording, the ability to create a timer image and a QR code scan mode. All pictures and videos are automatically saved in the Camera directory and are available from the file manager. Next year, it is planned to add the ability to create animated GIFs and implement the voice control of the camera via Google Assistant (for example, to create a picture will be enough to say “Make a photo”).
