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.
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.
