116.079 -> from the classroom to the boardroom
117.759 -> chromebooks are helping make remote work
119.84 -> simpler and more seamless
122.079 -> enterprise is another area of tremendous
124.32 -> growth
125.28 -> as companies prepared for a remote
127.2 -> workforce last year businesses saw the
130.239 -> benefits of fast deployment easy remote
132.879 -> management and a great experience for
135.2 -> their employees
136.879 -> zoom is a standout example of a company
138.959 -> that recognizes and addresses the needs
141.44 -> of the hybrid workforce
143.599 -> as a part of joining the modern
145.12 -> computing alliance last december zoom is
147.52 -> building a pwa to enhance their
149.84 -> experience on chromebooks
151.76 -> of course none of this incredible growth
153.84 -> for consumers education and enterprise
156 -> would be possible without developers
157.68 -> creating powerful apps for chromebooks
160.16 -> over the past year we've seen more
162.08 -> developers optimize their apps for
163.76 -> chrome os than ever before and users are
166.319 -> loving it
167.72 -> minecraft.edu launched late last year
170.16 -> and users are already spending millions
172.879 -> of minutes per month exercising their
175.2 -> creativity collaboration and
177.04 -> problem-solving muscles
179.28 -> spotify is now the most used music app
181.599 -> on chromebooks after optimizing their
183.28 -> android app to support large screen
184.879 -> devices and adobe spark enables users of
187.92 -> all skill levels to create graphics
190.08 -> photos and videos quickly
192.56 -> sparks pwa works incredibly well on
194.959 -> chromebooks where over 1 million
196.8 -> projects are created each month
199.12 -> all of these apps and many more have
200.959 -> been optimized for chromebooks as
202.72 -> developers continue to invest in large
204.64 -> screen compatibility as well as keyboard
206.64 -> and mouse support for those developers
208.959 -> we're working to make chromebook
210.48 -> optimize apps more discoverable in
212.4 -> google play these apps will be surfaced
214.959 -> as content forward listings at the top
216.799 -> of the google play app on chrome os
218.72 -> where we spotlight the best optimized
220.56 -> apps for the platform and now i'll hand
222.72 -> it over to my colleague emily to talk a
224.959 -> little bit more about web apps and pwas
229.2 -> thanks sanjay hi
231.2 -> my name is emily roberts a developer
233.519 -> advocate for chrome os
235.44 -> have you ever said you can't do that on
237.92 -> the web
239.12 -> well don't be so sure
241.12 -> with recent improvements the web offers
243.519 -> a whole bunch of new capabilities
245.36 -> allowing for performant installed app
248 -> experiences while still offering the
250.159 -> device independence of the web
252.72 -> that means developers can build desktop
254.959 -> competitive applications that work
256.56 -> everywhere and that are easy to monetize
258.88 -> through subscriptions and in-app
260.479 -> purchases on chromebooks
262.56 -> new apis put expanded functionality into
265.44 -> the hands of developers through the fugu
267.919 -> project the web platform has added more
270.479 -> than 30 new web capabilities in the last
273.12 -> few years
274.479 -> some recent examples that narrow the gap
277.04 -> toward installed app level functionality
279.6 -> and performance are
281.28 -> the file handling api that allows for
283.759 -> fast os level file access hardware video
286.96 -> codecs serial port apis
289.759 -> input devices
291.199 -> pan tilt and zoom camera controls and
294 -> more
294.88 -> check out the growing list at web.dev
297.52 -> tags
298.4 -> capabilities
299.919 -> also look for the i o talk on new web
302.56 -> apis for how to get started with some of
304.8 -> these
305.84 -> in addition to new apis we have been
308.24 -> improving performance under the hood
310.639 -> this includes things like reductions in
312.8 -> audio latency improvements in web
314.96 -> assembly low latency stylus for web and
317.6 -> more
318.56 -> for example this past year as folks were
321.199 -> needing to connect virtually there was
323.28 -> an increase in the usage of video
325.28 -> conferencing apps
326.8 -> we were able to make some big reductions
329.28 -> in cpu and gpu usage as well as battery
332.56 -> consumption to improve the user
334.24 -> experience
335.52 -> so once you have built your awesome
337.759 -> performant web app with all of these new
339.84 -> capabilities what then
342.16 -> the next step is to list it on google
344.4 -> play making it available to billions of
347.12 -> android phones and chromebooks
349.12 -> we've made it easier to package your pwa
351.44 -> for upload with the open source bubble
353.84 -> wrap tool
354.96 -> available on github
356.639 -> if you would like to dive deeper into
358.24 -> this process check out our talk list
360.72 -> your pwa in google play distribution is
364 -> great but what about making money
366.8 -> using the web payments and digital goods
368.96 -> apis you can add in-app purchases and
372 -> subscriptions to your web app
374.4 -> if you already have google play billing
376.8 -> integrated into an android version of
379.039 -> your app the digital goods api calls in
382.4 -> your web app will look very similar
385.12 -> in addition web purchases should
387.44 -> integrate easily with your existing
389.28 -> backend server and financial reporting
391.68 -> and of course
393.199 -> all google play purchases will be
395.199 -> available from both the web and android
398 -> versions of your app regardless of where
400.319 -> the purchases were made
402.4 -> also note if you use other distribution
405.36 -> channels in addition to play
407.6 -> the web payment and digital goods apis
409.84 -> are designed from the ground up to
411.6 -> support multiple payment platforms
414.479 -> here's a really quick example of using
416.56 -> the digital goods api to interact with
418.88 -> purchases from google play billing
421.36 -> you get an instance of the service
423.84 -> then you can interact with google play
425.52 -> billing as you'd expect here i'm listing
428.4 -> all the purchases for this user
430.96 -> and then you can do things such as
433.44 -> access purchase details like what is
435.599 -> being done with the item id here
438.479 -> check out the talk on enabling payments
441.68 -> in your pwa or the documentation on
444.639 -> chromeos.dev for more information
447.44 -> new capabilities distribution
450 -> monetization that's all great
453.039 -> but can a web app really provide the
455.759 -> same experience as a traditional android
457.68 -> app
458.479 -> well yes
460.16 -> in fact many apps you know and love are
462.88 -> web apps here's an example of a few that
465.28 -> are available in google play today on
467.52 -> chrome os
468.88 -> some of these apps would have been
470.319 -> impossible to build on the web just a
471.919 -> couple of years ago
473.52 -> i invite you to check them out and to
475.599 -> think about your own apps present and
478.16 -> future and assess whether the web might
481.28 -> be the ideal platform for them
483.28 -> now i'm going to hand it back over to
484.96 -> sanjay to take you through a few updates
487.12 -> on android for chrome os
490.08 -> android continues to be huge for chrome
492.08 -> os
492.96 -> in just the last year android app usage
495.52 -> has tripled users love using android
498.08 -> apps for games media streaming and
500.72 -> chrome os lets them access the apps they
502.8 -> know and love on larger screens
504.96 -> we have a number of i o talks about how
507.039 -> to make your apps look and work great on
509.039 -> the platform and chromeos.dev is full of
511.759 -> helpful resources guides and code
513.599 -> snippets the site offers great guidance
516 -> on how to adapt your app for large
517.919 -> screens how to handle inputs like
519.68 -> keyboard and mouse
521.279 -> and tips for supporting x86 and arm
523.839 -> build targets
525.12 -> check out chromeos.dev to learn all
527.44 -> about that and more
529.279 -> we have a lot of new things to look out
530.959 -> for in 2021
533.2 -> right now most chromebooks are running
535.12 -> android 9.
536.88 -> what's great about chrome os is how
538.48 -> consistently our fleet of devices runs a
540.64 -> fairly new version of the os
543.12 -> on that note we're excited to announce
545.04 -> that we're updating chromebooks to
546.56 -> android 11 throughout the year
548.8 -> as a part of this update we're moving
550.64 -> android from a container into a virtual
553.04 -> machine the vm is more secure more
555.92 -> stable and offers tremendous performance
558 -> benefits as developers you don't need to
560.24 -> worry about making any changes this is
562.399 -> just one more way we're investing to
564.32 -> make sure your apps and games are at
566.32 -> their best on chromebooks we'll be
568.399 -> rolling this out to chromebooks as we
570.32 -> update them to android 11 over the
571.92 -> coming months
573.44 -> this year we're also partnering with the
575.519 -> android team to help apps design for
577.6 -> mobile devices like smartphones and
579.36 -> tablets run even better on chromebooks
582 -> we recently launched some runtime
583.92 -> improvements to support better app
585.68 -> resizing scaling and app rendering you
588.24 -> can take them for a test drive on any
590.08 -> chromebook running android 11.
592.32 -> and last but not least one of user's
594.24 -> favorite things about android games
597.2 -> as people play games across more types
599.279 -> of devices and screen sizes we're
600.88 -> working hard to deliver experiences that
602.959 -> defy expectations i'm happy to announce
605.839 -> that we're working with unity to make it
607.6 -> even easier to build immersive
609.36 -> high-performance gaming experiences on
611.279 -> chrome os
612.88 -> the unity 2021.2 alpha supports chrome
616 -> os as a build target in the android
617.839 -> developer environment
619.519 -> unity will be back porting this
620.88 -> capability to 2020 long term stable
623.12 -> coming by the end of 2021.
625.44 -> keep an eye out on chromeos.dev and your
627.92 -> unity editor release notes for more
629.839 -> details
631.04 -> now back to emily for a quick update on
633.36 -> linux before we wrap up
636.24 -> thanks sanjay
637.68 -> regarding developing onchromebooks i am
640.56 -> really pleased to announce that the
642.32 -> linux development environment is going
644.399 -> to be out of beta in our next release
647.279 -> there have been a lot of updates over
649.04 -> the last year including a new terminal
651.92 -> app better usb support configurable port
654.959 -> forwarding and a whole lot of work on
656.88 -> performance and stability
659.2 -> one nice improvement is that now when
661.519 -> you install a chrome os update your
663.92 -> linux container is updated at the same
666.24 -> time
667.2 -> before you had to wait three five or up
669.36 -> to 15 minutes for it to update
671.6 -> independently after an os update
674.8 -> no longer
676.32 -> this is a nice example of the increasing
678.24 -> polish happening with linux on chrome os
681.279 -> linux and developing right on a
683.36 -> chromebook is one of my favorite
685.2 -> features so i love that the integration
687.44 -> is getting better and better a deeper
689.279 -> dive into many of the topics we have
691.2 -> touched on today including linux
693.76 -> optimizing android apps building pwas as
696.959 -> well as many more all about developing
699.279 -> for and on chrome os can be found at
702.399 -> chromeos.dev
704 -> with that i would like to thank you for
706.32 -> your continued enthusiasm for our
709.12 -> awesome operating system over the last
