Enabling/Troubleshooting Touchscreen

We recommend that you complete a quick System Check prior to the first session to ensure their computers are set up for success! Run a System Check Here. 

• By default students with touchscreen capabilities on their Chromebook will have access to the touchscreen feature on their whiteboards without the need to add a plugin as the Touch UI layout is auto-enabled on their devices, however, when students face an issue, please follow the below steps to resolve it.

  • Follow the below steps to enable the Touch UI Layout manually. 

    • Go to: chrome://flags/

    • Type “Touch” in the search box at the top or scroll down until you see the Touch UI Layout Options

    • Click on the dropdown options and select “Enabled“ as shown in the screenshot below.

      • Once completed, click “Relaunch”, and the Touchscreen feature on the whiteboard should start working.

    • Calibrate the touchscreen: Chrome OS has a built-in calibration tool that can help if the touchscreen is not accurately responding to your touch. 

      • To calibrate the touchscreen, go to Settings > Device > Displays > Touch Screen and follow the instructions to calibrate it.

    • Disable conflicting apps or extensions: Some apps or extensions installed on your Chromebook may conflict with the touchscreen functionality. 

      • Try disabling any recently installed apps or extensions to see if the touchscreen starts working again.
