Google Introduces New Chromebook Button To Instantly Call Support When You Have a Problem

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Google has announced the rollout of the most crucial addition to any computer: a physical button on your Chromebook that connects you directly to a Google support representative.

The new Chromebook Chat Button has received rave reviews from internal testers and will soon be available in classrooms and homes near you.

"The instant access to an actual living human was an eye-opening experience," said one Google employee who wished to remain anonymous. "It's like I was transported back to 1966!"

Despite Google’s notoriously lacking customer service, the company believes this revolutionary new button — strategically placed where the Caps Lock key usually sits — will boost sales in their struggling Chromebook line, which is particularly beloved by teachers. "Their interface is so simple, it’s ideal for children to use when contacting us about deeper existential questions and tech crises," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. "What is a laptop, you may ask? What is the internet? And why won't my browser load? These are exactly the sorts of tough questions our dedicated service reps adore answering — in less than 7-second calls, if they can manage!"

However, an industry insider revealed that even this shiny new button might not be enough to save the struggling Chromebook platform. "They need to heavily advertise how easy it is to utilize the button to connect with an international call center where the representatives may or may not speak English. That’s where the real magic happens."

At publishing time, a user named Dan had successfully used the new button to connect with Frank, a polite customer service representative from Mumbai, who assured him that it was perfectly normal for his Chromebook to make a strange noise when it was closed.
