Connect a website to a USB, Serial, or HID device

New Products

Summary

Chrome allows websites to connect to a computer's USB, Serial, and HID devices (for example keyboards, headsets, gamepads, cameras, and microcontrollers). Android supports web-to-USB connections, while iPhone and iPad currently don't permit USB, Serial, or HID connections in Chrome. The article warns to grant device access only to trusted sites, explains how pairing gives a site full device access, and shows how to set default permissions in Chrome's Site Settings. It provides step-by-step pairing and removal instructions and notes that Linux systems may need appropriately configured udev rules to access connected devices.
