# How to adjust volume on Chromebooks using Hexnode UEM?

The **Set Volume** remote action in Hexnode UEM allows IT administrators to precisely control audio levels on managed **ChromeOS** devices, ensuring a consistent user experience in locked-down environments like kiosks.

Why adjust Chromebook volume remotely?
--------------------------------------

Remotely setting volume levels prevents users from altering audio settings in public or shared environments (e.g., kiosks, digital signage, or classrooms), ensuring that alerts, media, and instructions are heard at the appropriate volume without user intervention.

- **Consistency**: Maintains uniform audio standards across a fleet of devices.
- **Control**: Prevents users or unauthorized personnel from muting or maximizing volume in restricted environments.
- **Efficiency**: Eliminates the need for manual, physical adjustments on each device.
