This will ensure a seamless connection of the Chromebook to that WiFi network. The credentials will be saved permanently and the Chromebook doesn’t have to enter the password of that WiFi network to go online. To share a WiFi credential with a Chromebook, Go to the Settings app. Under WiFi & Network, tap on Share. Let the Android device discover the Chromebook and then send the WiFi.

Google has also a new feature rolling out for enhanced Bluetooth connectivity. It goes by the name Fast Pair. It will discover nearby compatible Bluetooth gadgets that are active and are in pairing mode. What’s interesting is the Bluetooth profile will be saved to the Google account on the Chromebook. So, it will cut out the hassle of reconnecting every time the user wants to use that Bluetooth device.
