Chrome OS 92 Stableoffers eSim support and improved video calling, among a bunch of other cool features.
Theres new support for emojis, as well as the ability to do more with an external camera.
You also get improved speech to text for composing long documents just with your voice.
Note that not all Chromebooks support this feature.
The convenience factor is stunning.
You no longer need to go into a store to buy carrier services when you use an eSIM card.
With eSIM cards, you might also easily shop around for the best prices on mobile services.
Several websites even compare rates for eSIM cards.
This is useful when you want to use one number for your personal line and another for work.

Electronic SIM cards are also great for travel.
When youre overseas and using your US mobile provider, carrier roaming fees can quickly add up.
All in all, the latest Chrome update seems like itll bring a solid slate of improvements.
Like most carriers, Verizon offers an international roaming plan that includes data.
Better Video Calls
Video calling is all the rage these days.
As mentioned previously, Google is also stepping up its video calling game with the latest Chrome OS update.
Meet is also getting new video backgrounds to spice up your next virtual conference call.
Theres also an upgraded emoji picker.
To launch the compact emoji picker, you use the new keyboard shortcut (Search or Launcher key+Shift+Space).
The new features let you see recently used emojis and can search for others in text fields.
If you have an external camera hooked up to your Chromebook, youre in luck, too.
The Chrome camera app now supports pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
My personal favorite new feature that Im looking forward to trying is continuous speech-to-text in Dictation.
All in all, the latest Chrome update seems like itll bring a solid slate of improvements.
I look forward to trying out the release and sharing my thoughts on it in the future.
