Important: ChromeOS isn’t a supported Unity Editor platform.
Although ChromeOS development is very similar to Android, there are specific differences that you need to be aware of. Before you start to develop your application for ChromeOS, review the requirements, feature compatibility, and known issues specific to ChromeOS.
The system requirements for ChromeOS are similar to Android development. The only difference is that there are USB connection issues. To avoid these, you can connect the Unity Editor to a ChromeOS device over Wi-Fi/Ethernet.
Unity supports all brands of ChromeOS laptops, tablets, netbooks and desktops. Chromecast devices aren’t supported. Unity supports ChromeOS version R89 and later releases on the stable release channel. As with other platforms, you can use beta and development OS builds at your own discretion.
The following table describes the features that are supported when you’re developing applications for ChromeOS.
