How to split screen on chromebook

Have you ever found yourself working on multiple projects simultaneously, frantically switching between tabs and apps on your Chromebook? Whether you’re a student juggling class notes and research, a professional managing tasks and communications, or just someone trying to enjoy a movie while browsing the web, the struggle is real. You might be wondering how to make your workspace more efficient. Fear not, because split-screen functionality on your Chromebook is here to help you stay organized and increase your productivity.

To split screen on a Chromebook, simply open the two windows you want to view side by side. Then, click and hold the title bar of one of the windows, drag it to the left or right edge of the screen until you see a transparent outline, and release the mouse button. The window will now fill that half of the screen. Select the other window from the remaining side to complete the split-screen view.

To elaborate on this process, first, ensure you have the applications or tabs that you want to use open on your Chromebook. You will want to use two separate windows, so make sure that they are not in the same tab or application. Next, click on the title bar (the top section where the application name is displayed) of the first window. While holding the left mouse button down, drag the window towards the edge of the screen. You should notice a visual cue, indicating that the window will resize to take up half of the screen. Once you reach the edge, release the mouse button.

Now, your first window will fill that side of the screen, and you will see thumbnails of the other open windows on the opposite side. Click on the window you want to occupy the other half of the screen, and it will automatically resize to fit. This split-screen mode allows you to work more efficiently by allowing easy comparison, multitasking, or even casual browsing while you review your work. If you wish to exit the split-screen, simply grab one of the windows by its title bar and drag it away from the edge to return to a single-window view. Enjoy your new, more productive workspace!
