Hi, Can you help to connect google chrome to my cowork? Thank you!

Right, this shows "Claude in Chrome" already has a checkmark under Desktop/Included, so it thinks it's connected on your end. Let me retry from my side now.

That checkmark likely just means the feature is enabled on your account, not that there's a live connection to an open Chrome window right now. It's still not reaching me. A couple of things worth checking:

Still not connecting on my end even with the window open. I've retried this a few times now without any change, so this looks like something beyond a quick fix from my side. Given you're on Windows, one thing worth double-checking: click the Claude extension icon directly in the Chrome toolbar (not just the Settings > Connectors page) and see what it says there — it may need you to explicitly sign in or grant it permission inside the extension popup itself, separate from the account-level toggle.

If that still doesn't show it as active, this is likely worth reporting as a bug (the link the error gives is github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/new) rather than us going back and forth further.
