It's like having a computer inside a computer

Chrome OS comes with several features that help Chromebook users multitask more productively. For example, Split Screen functionality lets you work on two apps at once, side-by-side. And then there’s Virtual Desktops (also called Desks), a feature that lets you create multiple Chromebooks within your Chromebook.

Virtual desktops help minimize distractions and clutter by allowing you to organize related apps or activities on a dedicated workstation. For example, you can create a desktop dedicated to work-related applications (Google Docs, Zoom, etc.) and another for entertainment-related activities (Netflix, Games, etc.) or social media or instant messaging apps.

Currently, you can create up to eight desks on your Chromebooks. If you’re new to Virtual Desktops, navigating through multiple apps, windows, and desks can be confusing or overwhelming. In this guide, we’ll show you some handy tricks to easily switch between desks on your Chromebook.
