Google is integrating its Chromebooks with a new gaming feature called “Game Dashboard.” This feature actually belongs to Google’s Pixel Phone, and now it’s available in Chromebooks as well.
Game Dashboard
Game Dashboard is a handy tool for PC gamers. It can popup on your Chromebook, while using other tools simultaneously.
It also offers you some good alternatives such as you can take screenshots and remap keys for games. You can have a toolbar on the left side of the screen while you play games.
However the Chromebook version of the Game Dashboard isn’t that good as compared to Pixel phones. It may upgrade in the near future, but currently it lacks a few good features.
For example, you can’t record and share the gameplay and you can’t check FPS (frames per second). You are also not allowed to activate Do Not Disturb Mode.
These features are already available for the Pixel Phone users, but Chromebooks users are going to miss these features.
