Choose account (how to skip?)

When you start Stadia you have to choose the account you want to use. I think most of the Stadia -users use only one single account?

I'd like to start Stadia, then make me some coffee and when I come back I can immediately start choosing a game and play. Now it takes quite some time before you can play a game... And why would you use more accounts? Except for student houses etc.

Is it possible to make a specific account the standard account (that starts up automatically) and if you want to switch accounts you have to push a button for instance?

Hi @sulphurtx 


This sounds like a very useful feature. To be clear, do you mean the app or where do you see the account selector? In my case, I only see the screen sometimes on my CCU.

Please use the feedback function of the Stadia mobile app to report it directly to the team!. :slightly_smiling_face:

@sulphurtx I'm in the same boat on my laptop. I've gotten in the habit of typing /u/1/ at the end of the url though, and I have a bookmark with the correct url to skip the account selection. I hope that helps in the meantime.

I've never run into that issue in a browser. But, I also have a fairly strict policy of using one Chrome profile for each account. You might try creating a new Chrome profile just for the account you use for Stadia (even if you also log in to that account from one of the other Chrome profiles). Then, you can set that profile up to have only the set of extensions you want to use for Stadia (e.g, no adblockers, etc.). If you set that profile up to restore the set of tabs you were using before, and that's just the Stadia tab, then it should just always open directly into Stadia when you select it.

Why not Zoidberg?
