So both of the you have to turn on Bluetooth on both of your Both on your phone and on your Chromebook So if you have a newer version versions of Chromebooks or Android smartphones Then definitely you're going to be meeting these specs or criteria So you don't need to worry about that But if you have an older version of either Chromebook or a smartphone Then you might want to check whether you meet these requirements before you start starting the procedure So if you are setting up your Chromebook for the first time, then you're going to Get a prompt and then you can just like you know follow the steps and you'll be able to connect at your Smartphone and you'll be able to unlock your Chromebook using your smartphone Which is right here but let's say if you do not have if you already set up your Chromebook and then you'd like to do it now Then this is what I'm going to show you today as a very simple procedure So you have to just follow a step-by-step. So the first thing you're going to be doing is that you'll go to the Setting section of your Chromebook, which is going to be the lower right-hand corner So if you just click here, you'll see a prompt and then here you're going to see the power Unlock and setting so you're going to just click on the setting icon, which is right there So once you hit the wheel Settings button then it will open up the settings option on your screen and Then if you just you know scroll down, then you'll see connected devices And then if you just click on the small button right here Then you'll see there are a few options.

So which is right here Then you're going to be looking at two options, which is unlock device only unlock device and sign up to sign into Google account So the difference between these two options is that if you choose unlock device only then it will just unlock your device But it will not log on to log into your Google accounts On your Chromebook But if you choose the unlock device and sign into Google account, then it will do both So it will sign unlock your device and it will log into your Google account So I chose the first one unlock device only because all my Google accounts are already, you know, I already signed in So they're just like, you know, whenever I open a browser, I never sign out. It's already there So I don't need that option. So once you Unlock device only option then it's going to ask you to connect to your Phone then what you're going to be doing is that You're going to have For example, right now, you can see that it's already connected and it's asking to forget your phone So I'm not going to do that, but I'm just showing you so the reason you can I can forget now because now I'm connected But once you go through the steps, then your phone you're going to see a prompt on your phone and then you're going to be connected on your phone and Which you see on your phone by going to your phone setting section so if you go to phone setting section and then if you go to Device connection and then here you can see that the Bluetooth option and Chromebook option So I'm going to I'm going to just turn on Bluetooth and then I'm going to Click on the Chromebook option and then you can see that, you know, I already went through the steps. So I have Link to my Chromebook, which is right here but And if I hit here forget Chromebook, then it's going to just disconnect me or unlink me from the device Which I don't want now. So basically that's the basic steps. So now let's say I have everything Once you go through all the steps and everything then let's say I'm going to just minimize the screen Okay, so once you set up everything Everything should be in place to work So the way you can check is that if you hit here on the settings option and then you'll see that there's lock button So if I hit on that then it's going to lock my Chromebook So let's click on that then you can see that, you know, the Chromebook Is locked right now. So what I'll do you can check here So you can see that it's giving you a message that your phone is locked, unlock it to enter it So what happens here that you have to unlock your phone and it has to be close to your Chromebook Then it will unlock your Chromebook because right now my phone is My phone is locked. So I'm going to unlock my phone and then you'll see that, you know that the small Lock sign is going to start like you know There's going to be around icon and then it will start unlocking it. So let's Unlock my phone So right now I unlocked your phone and then you can see that, you know, it's already showing the Lock button which has been unlocked and then once I hit enter then it should take me take me to the desktop and That's right there.
