How to Configure the Zoom for Chrome PWA

In case you’re an administrator who manages Chrome apps, you can use the Google Admin Console to configure Zoom for Chrome PWA. This gives you the capability to deploy your PWA to your users with exactly the policies you want in terms of deployment and configuration.

Upon implementing Zoom for Chrome PWAs, please refer to the getting started guide for detailed guidance on how to use the Zoom for Chrome PWAs once they have been implemented.

Note : 

By June 2022, ChromeOS apps will no longer be supported across all operating systems, so Zoom for Chrome PWA will be the replacement for it. For the smooth transition from the ChromeOS app to the new Zoom for Chrome PWA, admins are strongly recommended to begin migrating users.

How to configure Zoom for Chrome PWA

  1. Access the Google admin console by logging into your Google account.
  2. Select Chrome under Devices from your Home page.
  3. Go to Applications & extensions.
  4. To configure an app, select Users & browsers.
  5. By leaving the top organizational unit selected, the setting will be applied to all users. If you choose another organizational unit in your organization, the setting will only apply to it.
  6. Simply click the Add by URL button located in the bottom right hand corner.
  7. You can also open PWA by entering the URL (https://pwa.zoom.us/wc) and selecting how you would like it to open.
  8. Then click Save.
  9. If you have an app policy file that you wish to upload, you can do it manually.
  10. Click the Save button.

Check to see if the configuration was applied correctly:

  1. Chrome users should enter chrome://policy in their browser.
  2. You may expand the ManagedConfigurationPerOrigin policy value by clicking Show more and finding the managed configuration per origin policy section.
  3. In your browser, copy the value of managed_configuration_url, load that page, and then validate that the JSON is the same.

Sample JSON

In the following example, we will show you what it looks like to disable Google login and predefine the vanity URL to be used to log in through SSO.

{
 "DisableGoogleLogin": true,

 "SetSSOURL": "success" 
}

Note: Just the domain is necessary when setting up the SSO URL. The full SSO URL does not need to be used, such as https://success.zoom.us.
