How to Adjust Screen Brightness on Your Chromebook
Adjusting the screen brightness on your Chromebook is a simple yet essential task to optimize your device’s usability and comfort.
Here are the methods to quickly adjust the brightness on a Chromebook:
1. Using Quick Settings Menu
Quick Settings is an all-in-one place to quickly access frequently used settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, screen capture, volume control, and more. Using the Quick Settings menu, you can also change the brightness level on your Chromebook device. Here’s how:
1. At the bottom-right corner of your Chromebook’s screen, click on the clock, Wi-Fi, and battery icons to access the Quick Settings menu. Alternatively, you can use Alt + Shift + S to access it.
2. In the Quick Settings menu, you’ll see a slider with a sun icon next to it. This is the brightness control.
3. Use the slider to adjust the brightness on your device.
2. Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Another way to adjust the screen brightness on your Chromebook is by using the dedicated keyboard shortcuts.
On your Chromebook keyboard, look at the top row. Here, you will find two keys that look like little suns – one with a small sun icon (brightness down) and one with a larger sun icon (brightness up). Use these keys to adjust the screen brightness on your device.
Conclusion
That’s it! This is how you can easily change the brightness level on your Chromebook to a comfortable level.
