468.539 -> to keep in mind is that school

470.22 -> administrators manage Chromebooks

472.199 -> through the Google admin console

474.66 -> that means teachers and admins decide

486 -> security for students want to learn more

488.58 -> about Chromebooks and education Tech

490.56 -> head over to Helen and James's talk

676.98 -> the result it boosted contact center

679.68 -> productivity by 15 and saved 150 hours

683.76 -> of device boot up time per contact

686.82 -> center shift there's a lot of

688.8 -> opportunity for devs to connect with

690.72 -> businesses by building for Chrome OS

693.6 -> join Joyce and reluca at the Chrome OS

696.66 -> Enterprise Dev talks to hear more about

698.76 -> contact center and kiosk apps the apps

701.88 -> and games you create are essential to

703.86 -> how Chromebooks help people in their

705.899 -> everyday lives

707.399 -> your apps help people get stuff done

710.3 -> whether they're making a grocery list on

713.04 -> Evernote designing a social post using

716.1 -> canva or editing photos in Pixlr e

718.98 -> whether you're building a web app or an

721.32 -> Android app we want to make it simple

726.3 -> creations

728.16 -> Chromebook users can find and download

730.8 -> your apps and games with a deeply

732.6 -> integrated Google search experience the

735.36 -> pre-installed Google Play Store and a

737.82 -> built-in Chromebook Explorer app so

739.92 -> whether you're building apps on the web

744 -> the work you've already invested in with

746.279 -> millions of Chrome OS users around the

748.74 -> world let's dive into these Chromebook

750.959 -> app platforms and how app developers can

753.66 -> offer great Chromebook user experiences

756.24 -> web devs you're up first

760.14 -> you could offer a more engaging

762.42 -> experience on Chrome OS by making your

764.7 -> web apps installable and enhancing them

767.04 -> with modern web capabilities such as

769.44 -> offline mode installed web apps are

771.899 -> convenient and functional for Chromebook

773.88 -> users

778.38 -> productivity app

779.82 -> your Chromebook users could choose to

782.04 -> open MP4 GIF or PDF files in your app by

787.62 -> default if it's already installed on

789.959 -> their device people can also pin

792.54 -> installed Chromebook apps to their

794.76 -> desktop Shelf run them on separate

797.16 -> windows and desks and access them

799.8 -> quickly from the launcher all of that

802.26 -> makes it easy for people to use your app

804.48 -> time and time again so what does it take

807.06 -> to make a web app installable well it's

810.18 -> pretty easy your app must be served over

812.88 -> https and have a web app manifest that

816.06 -> includes simple criteria like name icon

819.18 -> and start URL
