Please see the on how the MWM device experience can be seen on Chrome.

Though we could launch the MWM mobile UI on the desktop chrome browser, we will be constrained to using only one session at a time with the normal setup because all tabs of Chrome share the same session. Multiple session have to be created in order to have the ability to work on multiple device experiences in parallel. one of the way to create multiple session in Chrome is to create "users", all users will have their own session and we could launch different MWM experiences by different Chrome users accounts.

please see below steps on how we could achieve the same.

  1. Launch Chrome, launch "chrome://settings" in the address bar to launch the settings page of the chrome.createusers.bmp
  2. As shown in the above image, go to the "Users" section and select "Add new user" to create a new user account in Chrome.
  3. Once we have multiple User-accounts created, Chrome will show the current User on the top-left corner.
  4. Click on the User-Account icon shown on the top-left corner, all the user accounts will be shown in a drop-down. select any other user account to launch another chrome instance (with a new session).
  5. shiftuseraccounts.bmp
  6. like this, we will be able to work on multiple MWM experiences in parallel.
