ChromeOS 134 Release Notes
IWAs come to kiosk mode, Slow Keys provide a new accessibility feature, graduating students can migrate their data to a personal account, and GIFs support comes to Quick Insert in the latest version of ChromeOS.
Isolated Web Apps in ChromeOS kiosk mode
In ChromeOS 134, ChromeOS kiosk mode supports Isolated Web Apps, a more secure and versatile app solution with access to deep system integrations and powerful capabilities. Administrators can configure IWAs for kiosk and digital signage deployments on Chrome Enterprise managed devices through the Admin console.
Slow Keys
Slow Keys is an accessibility feature designed to assist individuals with limited dexterity in typing more accurately. This feature is particularly helpful for those who have conditions such as tremors, arthritis, or numbness in their fingertips, which can make it difficult to press keys with precision.
Slow Keys works by introducing a delay, requiring keys to be held down for a set amount of time before they are registered. This will prevent unintended keystrokes from being pressed.
Migrate data for graduating students
As early as March 2025, the new content transfer tool will guide graduating students or other EDU-managed users who want to migrate their data through an updated data transfer process. This will allow them to take their Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail content to a Gmail account of their choice.
This new application allows school administrators to pin an icon to the shelf, notify students and faculty on their Chromebooks, and set dates to trigger these nudges to encourage them to use content transfer.
For more details, see our new article describing how to Allow data transfer for students in the Chrome Enterprise and Education Help Center (to be published later in March, 2025).
GIFs with Quick Insert
Quick Insert will soon support direct GIF insertion! Quickly add GIFs to your messages and documents without leaving the Quick Insert menu. For more details, see Use Quick Insert to add & create content.
