How to use Zoom for Chrome PWA (Progressive Web App)
Introduction
Zoom combines cloud video conferencing and simple online meetings in one easy-to-use platform. Across multiple platforms, our solution offers the best video, audio, and wireless screen-sharing experience. Zoom for Chrome PWA (Progressive Web App) lets you use some of the same features that are available on the desktop client or mobile app within the Chrome web browser.
Please consult the admin configuration guide for more information regarding how to deploy a custom configuration of Zoom for Chrome PWA.
Note:
Zoom for Chrome PWA will replace the ChromeOS app, since support for ChromeOS apps will be phased out across all major operating systems by June 2022. Administrators are strongly encouraged to migrate users from the ChromeOS app to the new Zoom for Chrome PWA to ensure a smooth transition.
