Play Roblox on Chromebook via Remote Computer
This method comes in the last because it may have some performance issues while playing the game. But you can still play Roblox on Chromebook. Playing Roblox via Remote computer means that you will be using another computer in order to play Roblox. You will be accessing another computer remotely from your Chromebook to play the game. Follow these steps to play Roblox via Remote computer:
Firstly, make sure that the computer you are planning on to access remotely has a Chrome web browser and Roblox installed. It doesn’t matter if its a Mac or a PC.
- Go to Chrome Web Store > Search for Chrome Remote Desktop. LINK
- Click on Add to Chrome and add the application.
- Repeat the steps 1-3 on the computer that you are planning to access remotely.
- Open Chrome Remote Desktop App on your Chromebook and in the Computer that you will access remotely.
- Once you are done establishing a connection, you can launch Roblox and start playing.
Note: If you want to use the computer just for one time, you both must choose the Remote Assistance option on the first launch of the app. If you plan to play Roblox on this system often, you can choose My Computers option.
This option will install a Chrome Desktop Host on the remote computer and will establish a trusted connection between your Chromebook and the remote computer.

'Macbook AIR' 'Operating system - macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6'
So randomly a week ago i was playing a game called 'Roblox' which you need to download to play
Well it crashed and i had to delete the app off the mac and try and reinstall it
after reinstalling it and getting the 'roblox player' and trying to 'configure' the roblox app on the macintosh, it crashes and deletes its self and never seems able to install, i can provide video footage of me attempting to install it if needed, but i'll just explain it
1. I go to roblox.com and sign in
Why Wont It Download Roblox
2. I go to 'games' tab and click a game
3. It says i need to download the client so i proceed in doing that
4. It gives me the roblox player which i use to try and install the roblox app itself
5. As it is 'configuring' it crashes on me and never seems to work
a. Whenever it seems to 'succesfully download' the app deletes its self when trying to start a game which requires the apps use
If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated, thank you.
