How to Censor Videos on Chromebook (Free, No Download, No Install)
Need to censor a video on your Chromebook? Most video editing software won't run on Chrome OS - no Premiere, no Final Cut, no iMovie. Here's a free tool that works directly in your browser. If you're a teacher, check out our classroom-specific guide for educator tips.
Why Video Editing on Chromebook Is Hard
Chromebooks can't run traditional desktop software:
- Adobe Premiere Pro - Windows/Mac only
- iMovie - Mac/iOS only
- DaVinci Resolve - Won't install on Chrome OS
- Most Android apps - Crash or work poorly
If you're on a school-managed Chromebook, you probably can't install apps at all.
