Published on February 3, 2014 by Alexander Maxham Image credit: François Beaufort According to Chrome evangelist François Beaufort , it appears that the latest version of Chrome OS on the developer channel now allows you to close the lid of your Chromebook when your streaming a tab to Chromecast without it getting shut off, or suspended. According to François, this is said to work the same as the docked mode. Basically Chrome OS considers the Chromecast as an external connected display while casting. Now we don't know a whole lot about this new feature in the latest dev update to Chrome OS (and I don't have a Chromebook here right now to check it out myself), but it does sound like a pretty good feature that many of us are going to love. Especially those that use Chromecast on their Chromebook to stream a tab or watch a video, etc. You can view the update in the source at the bottom of this post, which is over on Chromium's website.
