16How To Switch User Chromebook [Tutorial]
Enabling multiple sign-in user accounts on a Chromebook has certain core advantages, including preserving your working session ‘as is’ and the ability to move windows between accounts. I love the flexibility of able to resume the session where I left despite other users using my device in between.
Whether you're using a Chromebook at the office as a workstation or at home as a family computer, one of the most underrated features of these versatile devices is the ability to switch between users quickly and easily. We'll show you how, and offer up a few suggestions to make the process even more powerful for you.
By default Chrome OS settings, the multiple user login options are disabled, probably because the feature consumes more RAM, and this ultimately makes sense as the majority of Chromebooks are not powerful when it comes to hardware. Few Chromebooks come with as little as 2GB of RAM. Hence, before proceeding, let’s make sure that you understand this limitation. I wouldn’t recommend using the switching between accounts feature on a Chromebook with less than 8GB of RAM.
