Hooray! Google is finally adding a way to turn off face control on Chromebooks

Get notified when the face control setting becomes available in Google Admin Console

School administrators have been asking for a way to disable the new "Face Control" accessibility feature that Google added in December 2024. The wait is almost over, as Google just announced that new admin settings are being added in ChromeOS version 137, set to roll out beginning in June 2025.

We know the settings will be called DeviceLoginScreenFaceGazeEnabled and FaceGazeEnabled, but we don't yet know where they will be in the Google Admin Console, so check back here or sign up to be notified above once the settings are live.
