Ambient mode on Chrome OS has been a long-awaited feature with rumors about its launch going on for months. Thankfully, the feature has landed on the Beta channel and now you can taste Ambient Mode without having to move to buggy Dev or Canary channel. Meanwhile, Ambient Mode has been improved with Google Photos integration which is pretty exciting. And according to ChromeStory, Ambient Mode has now been renamed to Screen Saver in the Canary channel. Nonetheless, in this article, I am going to show you how to enable Ambient Mode (Screen Saver) on Chrome OS. So without any delay, let’s jump to the steps.

  1. First of all, you need to move to the Beta channel of Chrome OS. To do so, open the Settings page and move to About Chrome OS -> Additional Details -> Change Channel -> Beta. Now, move back to the “About Chrome OS” page and check for updates. By the way, I am running Chrome OS Beta Build 85.0.4183.59.

  2. Now, restart your Chromebook and open Chrome Settings again. This time, move to the “Personalization” tab and open “Ambient Mode”.
