Once the app is installed, broadcasts will trigger audible alerts as long as the Chromebooks are not in full Sleep mode. For this reason, we recommend setting a longer Sleep timeout policy.
The below table shows the results of a broadcast with the Chromebook in various states:
| Chromebook state | Will audible alert play? |
| User logs into Chromebook, then logs into Share911 | YES |
| User logs into Chromebook, then logs into Share911. Closes Share911 (doesn't log out) | YES |
| User logs into Chromebook and Share911. Closes clamshell, opens clamshell (sees password screen without logging in) | YES |
| User logs into Chromebook and Share911. Signs out of Chromebook, signs back in to Chromebook | YES |
