Depending on the age / model of your Chromebook - you can download android apps. I’ve downloaded the Wyze app and it works fine on my Chromebook. Formatted like a phone layout but works none-the-less. ---

Can you explain what you mean viewing it on chromebook? I thought these cannot be used with computers? ---

Yes, for Windows PCs you need to run an Android emulator like BlueStacks in order to run the WyzeCam app. > **[BlueStacks – Best Mobile Gaming Platform for PC & Mac | 100% Safe and FREE](https://www.bluestacks.com/)** > > Get the fastest and smoothest gaming performance with BlueStacks - the world's most popular, safest and FREE Mobile Gaming Platform for Windows and Mac.

Hi. Im a bit confused here. So you are telling me since at the moment i have my iphone paired with the wyze… i can also pair my chromebook with it as well? So you mean if i want to use my chromebook and view my camera inside my apartment where i have the camera…i can do this. If i want to use my chromebook and view my camera when outside from my apartment, i can do this as well? ---

Sure! ~IF~ it’s listed on that list of Chrome OS systems that support Android apps. We view our Wyze cams using the same one account on iPhones, Android tablets and a Win10 PC running BlueStacks - depending on what is handiest. Doesn’t matter where we are, just as long as everything is connected by relatively fast internet. I do not currently own a Chromebook to prove it, but my understanding is that if your ChromeBook is on that list of approved devices, it ~should~ install the free Android app from the PlayStore and work just like your iPhone. Can’t hurt to try! 🙂 ---

If you have a recent Chromebook that supports Android apps, the Wyze app will most likely not be available (search for it in the Play Store app), but you can use Tinycam to view a live feed from your cameras (as long as you aren’t using two-factor authentication). It works really well. ---

I used to be able to use the Wyze Android app on my Chromebook Pro but since I started with the Beta the app is no longer compatible with my Chromebook. I wish Chromebook compatibility could be added to the Beta version of the Wyze app. ---

My Chromebook is listed as able to load android apps but when I go to the Google Play store Wyze isn’t listed and if I go to Wyze and try to install it says my device isn’t supported. My device is listed as supporting Android, it is a Dell Chromebook 11 3180 with the latest updates. Other Android apps install, at least I assume they are android apps, I see them in the Google Play Store. Maybe I am missing something. ---

Wyze has not certified their latest app for use on Chromebooks, so you need to download tinyCam or tinyCam PRO from the Play Store. PRO works really well for me. ---

You should be able to sideload the Wyze app on a Chromebook. Google “sideload Chromebook” for more information. ---

Have you tried sideloading a version from here? > **[Wyze APK for Android Download](https://apkpure.com/wyze-make-your-home-smarter/com.hualai)** > > Wyze 2.35.0.88 APK download for Android. The Wyze app is your gateway to a smarter life and a safer home. I know there was a time when really old Chromebooks would not run the Wyze app, but then there was a time when the Chromebooks being released would run the Wyze app. Now, I don’t know - any information you post will be helpful! 🙂 If you can run the Wyze app on anything you own, then maybe you can set everything up there and just run [tinyCam Free](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexvas.dvr&hl=en_US) or [tinyCam Pro](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexvas.dvr.pro&hl=en_US) on the Chromebook? ---

I must have installed it at the right time - I have no issue running the Wyze app on my Google Pixel Chromebook. App runs in a smaller window like an emulator but works perfectly fine. ---
