Screen Capture not Working using Chrome OS

My timetracker just took a screenshot and when I saw the thumbnail for it it just has a big "failed to take screenshot" . I am using Chrome OS and I was able to successfully install and run the desktop app in Linux dev software using the same Chrome OS.

Hi Ann Swen,

 

Chrome operating system is not officially supported by the Upwork Desktop App (tracker) and that's the reason for the issue.

Your tracker should work well in the operating systems listed in this help article.

I am running it on Linux,

Version: 5.5.0.11 (FE2119)
Platform: Linux Debian Debian 10.7 (5.4.109-26077-g12746d86825a) x64

Do you have any other work around for this screencapture error, please?
