    Hey
    I'm trying to connect an Asus Chromebook running Chrome OS with my PC using Unity Remote 5.
    I can't make it work.
    Is this even possible?

    I realize this is a year old post, but I figured it might be helpful for other people to know what it took me a few hours to figure out. First off, only certain chromebooks support ABD (Android debug bridge) which is necessary for Unity Remote 5 to work. Here's a list:

    https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-adb-debugging-over-usb

    If your device is supported you can follow the instructions here to enable ADB:

    https://developer.android.com/topic/arc/development-environment#debug_with_adb

    Make sure you run the shell commands at the end, otherwise it won't work. Fair warning, enabling ADB requires enabling Developer mode, which wipes your data. Definitely back up your device before starting.
