The Zoom video conferencing platform takes cloud video conferencing and simple online meetings and combines them into one highly usable platform. A wide range of platforms are supported as part of our solution that is designed to make video, audio, and wireless screen sharing as easy as possible. PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) can be used within the Chrome web browser and provide some of the same functionality as desktop clients and mobile apps.
Zoom for Chrome PWA administrators can refer to the admin configuration guide for more details regarding how to deploy a custom configuration.
As part of the rollout to phase out support for ChromeOS apps across all operating systems by November 5, 2022, Zoom for Chrome PWA is separate from the ChromeOS app and intended to replace it. To ensure a smooth transition from the existing Zoom app for Chrome OS to the new Zoom for Chrome PWA, we strongly recommend admins begin migrating their users from the old app.
