Configuring Zoom on Chrome OS
Overview
Zoom can be configured for Chrome OS through the Google Admin console if you are an admin who manages Chrome OS devices. This allows you to control login features.
The Zoom for Chrome PWA (Progressive Web App) replaces the ChromeOS Zoom app, since ChromeOS apps will no longer be supported across all operating systems by June 2022. Admins are strongly encouraged to begin migrating users from the ChromeOS app to the Zoom for Chrome PWA as soon as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition.
This article covers:
