How to Configure Zoom for Chrome PWA

Admins who manage Chrome apps can configure Zoom for Chrome PWAs using the Google Admin console. By doing so, you can deploy the PWA with exactly the installation and configuration policies you need.

Please refer to the getting started guide for more information about how to use Zoom for Chrome PWA once it has been set up and deployed.

Note: 

The Zoom for Chrome PWA is separate from the ChromeOS app and intended to replace it, as support for ChromeOS apps is being phased out across all operating systems by June 2022. Administrators should begin migrating users from the ChromeOS app to the Zoom for Chrome PWA as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition.
