This method will only work if you have a Chromebook with a touchscreen, of course. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your Chromebook, tap on any text box or email or notes app so you see the blinking cursor.

  3. Go ahead and tap that button. You should now see a window with a vast collection of emojis to choose from.
