Lego Boost for Chromebooks Not Connecting

Hello, I was recently trying to use a scratch project with LEGO Boost on a Chromebook (and the boost scratch page does say it has ChromeOS support), but it kept saying to make sure scratch link and Bluetooth were on, even though I followed the instructions and also there is no scratch link for Chromebook. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also I did use scratch app.

EDIT: Fixed, make sure you use the app and make sure to go to chromeOS settings, search location and turn it on. (use location accuracy also if you can) Then it should work.

Have you used the Scratch App on ChromeOS? The instructions on how to connect external devices suggest the app instead of the website.

According to https://scratch.mit.edu/boost , you can't use the web version of scratch, you have to download the Scratch app from the Play store.

Edit: didn't see floppasyay's post
