The basic functionality works on my HP Chromebook 14, but the lag, audio issues, and random freezes make everything just a little more difficult than it should be. I have gigabit Internet and my Chromebook never maxes out its CPU or RAM, so I think these problems are just due to Horizon being a terrible app.

Update Nov 30, 2021: Still will not allow me to set a main monitor. If I want everything to start on my small chromebook screen it might work, but I want my chrome book as a secondary display. We need a way to designate a primary monitor when starting. They added the select monitor option which is nice, but not a designate primary option.

Update Oct 2021: Still will not allow me to set a main monitor. I'm forced to use my chromebook as my main display, whereas I want to use my large monitor as my main display. This makes it useless to me.

It worked great before the multi monitor update. Sure, I couldn't add a third monitor, but the two monitors I use daily worked just fine. Then the update and they borked it up bad, and the fix. The fix gets it closer, but it removed the ability to choose a primary monitor. Now it automatically selects my chromebook as my primary monitor, despite me having designated my big monitor as primary. I can't use the current permutation. The html version works ok with 2 monitors, but has it's own unpleasant downsides, such as the copy function is horrible.

Fullscreen disables when pressing "Esc" sometimes or when locking and unlocking the Chromebook

This used to work on my Acer CB3. Now it just freezes at the login screen. I now have to use my 15 yr old windows laptop. Don't bother installing it on chrome, if you need to use it for work pick up a super cheap windows laptop and install it on there instead.

Works great in Homeoffice. No isses at all. Strangely, the Abdroid App is NOT working on my chromebook...only this one.
