More organizations are putting Chromebooks in staff hands: managed, low-cost, secure endpoints where nothing lives on the device that IT doesn't control. QliqCHAT runs there natively. The Android app is built for Chromebook compatibility and installs straight from Google Play.
On a Chromebook with Google Play, open the Play Store, search for QliqCHAT, and install. It's the same secure messaging app your colleagues run on Android phones, signed in with the same organization credentials, with the same encryption and audit trail. The one requirement is that the Chromebook supports Google Play; nearly all models from recent years do, and on managed devices your administrator controls whether the store is available.
If your organization manages its Chromebooks through the Google Admin console, QliqCHAT deploys the way the rest of your fleet software does. Approve the app in managed Google Play, then set its installation policy to Force install, and optionally pin it to the ChromeOS taskbar, for the organizational units that need it. Staff sign in to their Chromebook and the app is simply there, on the shelf, ready. The console's Android app installation report shows install status per device, so rollout is verifiable rather than assumed.
This is why the Chromebook-as-thin-client model pairs well with QliqCHAT's security posture: the endpoint is managed and replaceable, the app is deployed and updated centrally, messages and PHI stay on secure rails rather than on the device, and if a Chromebook walks away, access is revoked from the console rather than chased in the field.
The same account works everywhere your team does: QliqCHAT for Mobile on iOS and Android phones, and QliqCHAT for Desktop on Windows and Mac. Conversations follow the clinician across devices, and every path carries the same HIPAA-compliant controls.
