VNC access to Chromebook?

This has recently become possible to do with the Chrome Remote Desktop App.

Brief instructions:

Install the Chrome Remote Desktop App on the Chromebook and Chrome on your computer.
On the Chromebook: (You'll have to show your grandmother how to do this.)
- Launch the app. (I guess the most convenient way would be to Pin it to the Shelf ahead of time.)
- Under Remote Assistance, click "Get Started". (I think you only need to click this the first time you use the app.)
- Click the green Share button.
- (Click "Share" at the prompt.)
- A 12-digit access code appears.
On your Chrome browser:
- Launch the app.
- Under "Remote Assistance", click "Get Started".
- Click "Access" next to "See and control a shared computer".
- (It asks for an access code.)
- Enter the access code that the Chromebook computer generated.
