What if you didn’t pay attention and look for the channel information at that time? The channel icon only will appear on subsequent logins until you reboot your device.
The very first time you boot up your Chromebook, the login screen will show the channel name and the icon. So before you even type a single character or move your mouse, you’ll know which software channel you’re entering. The first bit of code hinting at this will add the name of the ChromeOS channel to the login screen. Channel and version information right on the login screen Technically, it’s two new features, but they’re related. That’s why I’m excited to see a new feature that will make it easier to see which ChromeOS Channel is running on a Chromebook. However, I do switch back and forth quite a bit between channels so I need to see the ChromeOS channel. I often run the Dev Channel to see what’s coming to Chromebooks in the near future. And keep in mind that unless you really want to test pre-release features, you should stay on the Stable Channel. Note that you can also see this information by navigating to chrome://version/ on your Chromebook. That will take you to the screen below, which in my case, shows that I’m on the Dev Channel. Just click Settings -> About ChromeOS -> Additional Details. How to see the ChromeOS channel you’re runningĬurrently, to see the ChromeOS channel you have installed, you have to dig through the Settings of a Chromebook. And it’s about to get easier to see which ChromeOS channel a Chromebook is running. It’s easy to change your ChromeOS channel, however. As the name implies, it’s the most stable, and the most widely used. You’re likely most familiar with the last one. Did you know there are four different ChromeOS channels of software available for each version? If not, they’re Canary, Dev, Beta and Stable.
