Parallels for Chrome OS now supports AMD chips and webcams

At the end of last year, with the help of virtualization, Parallels successfully allowed Chrome OS devices to install and run Windows 10 systems. Today, Parallels announced the latest version of Parallels Desktop for Chrome OS (previously called Parallels Desktop for Chromebook Enterprise) and added support for AMD chips on the basis of Intel chips.

There are currently a total of 21 Chrome Enterprise devices that can run Parallels Desktop, of which 12 new devices have been added, 3 of which are equipped with AMD chips. The new complete list includes:

  • HP Pro c645 Chromebook (AMD)

In addition, Parallels Desktop for Chrome OS now supports webcam and microphone redirection, which means you can now use these devices in a virtual environment. This is very useful for video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Cisco Webex and GoToMeeting, especially because the web version of these applications does not support all features. In addition, USB devices are also supported in virtualized Windows machines, so you can use devices such as smart cards.

It is worth noting that Parallels Desktop for Chrome OS is a subscription service, which is only for Chrome enterprise users. In many cases, Windows applications are still essential. If you are interested, you need to pay $69.99 a year to get the ability to run Windows on Chrome OS devices.
