Connecting a Smartphone Hotspot to a Chromebook
Connecting a Smartphone Hotspot to a Chromebook
In a remote learning situation, many students may not have a reliable internet connection at their home to complete their school work, and many of these students may turn to using their smartphone, or parent’s smartphone, as a hotspot. The hotspot feature allows the smartphone to broadcast a wireless signal that the Chromebook or other wifi capable device can connect to. When the device is connected to the hotspot, the student will be able to access the internet.
How do you enable the hotspot on both Android and iPhones and then connect a Chromebook? These short videos below will assist in demonstrating how this is done. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for support!

I always found frustrating that you could only copy one thing at the time. So many times it happens to me that I want to recall something that I copied just minutes ago or that I want to copy two things at the same time. I use to rely on third-party software like Ditto but now it has been integrated into Windows and is so convenient. Moreover, if you activate synchronization it even works across multiple devices.
