ChatGPT Desktop Adds Media Tabs, URL Autocomplete
OpenAI’s ChatGPT desktop app now groups audio- and video-active tabs in a Media Tabs menu and adds zero-state URL autocomplete for faster returns. The update reduces friction when juggling research, meetings, and media inside its built-in browser.
These are small but meaningful browser-workspace improvements that make ChatGPT’s in-app browsing feel more persistent and usable.
- –Media Tabs provides one-click access to music, meetings, and other active media
- –URL autocomplete helps users resume recently visited destinations without hunting through threads
- –The changes support longer research and Work/Codex sessions with less context switching
- –The browser remains separate from Chrome’s history, cookies, and signed-in sessions
- –This is workflow polish rather than a new agent capability, but that polish matters for adoption
