Tech giant Google posted a video of a developer presentation to the Google Developers YouTube channel on Friday, showing how the Play Store and Android apps will run on Chromebooks.
The release of the video comes within days of a last-month announcement by Google, at its 2016 I/O developer conference, that it has plans underway to add the Play Store into Chrome OS. The company said that the move would facilitate Chrome OS users in downloading and running Android apps on their Chromebooks.
Going by the indications from the video posted by Google, the Play Store and Android apps will run seamlessly on Chromebooks.
The video showed that, thanks to the Android's intent system, it would be fairly easy for Chromebook users to share files between apps, as well as benefit from offline support to remain entertained during long flights. In addition, the video also showed that games will also run smoothly on Chromebooks.
Meanwhile, since Android app support for Chrome OS is not likely to arrive until fall this year, Chromebook users who want to run Android apps on their devices till the Play Store is added to Chrome OS can do so with the help of Google’s ARC Welder tool.
