Remove the app you have created from my initial post, by right-clicking on it in the launcher. Comment here or on the blog if you have any questions.Īs an update to my earlier post, I now have the settings so that the IT Pro TV "hosted app" is synchronized better (accounting for bug) between your Chrome OS devices, as well as an ability to add a better icon. To see a video showing this, or for further details including pictures of a couple steps, please visit my blog by the link provided above. If you have "Voice Search" enable, from the Launcher window you can say "Ok Google, IT Pro TV" to launch it by voice. It's a known issue that the "app" icon that will now be in your App Launcher (and synced to the Chrome App Launcher of you Windows and/or Linux systems) is rather generic, and it will not be shown the same on other linked launchers (I have submitted feedback, hopefully the Chrome OS developers will improve that behavior in later releases). You will probably want to leave "Open as tab" unchecked (so it launches as a window), then click on the "Add" button. In the dialog box that comes up, rename the entry to the shorter "IT Pro TV" (this step is important if you have "Voice Search" enabled, as what you say will need to match the "app" name). ![]() Restart your system completely.įrom this point, once you are on the IT Pro TV website (I used the "Live" page myself), click on the "hamburger" icon (three short horizontal lines in the upper-right corner) to access the configuration menu, click on "More tools", then select "Add a shortcut to this website". Click on "Enable" link for the highlighted selection. Within the integrated browser of your Chromebook, Chromebox, or Chromebase system, go to the internal address of chrome://flags/#enable-streamlined-hosted-apps. ![]() There is a similar "Chrome App Launcher" for the Windows and Linux platforms, but this procedure can only be used on a device running Chrome OS (which will then sync them to any linked Launcher of those systems and other Chrome OS devices where you use your account), not initially on those operating systems. I'm reposting information from my blog entry at, on how to create an "app" for IT Pro TV (or other websites) in the Launcher of your Chrome OS device.
