Configuring Zoom on Chrome OS Follow

Overview

If you're an admin that manages Chrome OS devices, you can configure Zoom for Chrome OS using the Google Admin console. You can set policies that control login features.

Note: Due to support for ChromeOS apps are being phased out across all operating systems by June 2022, Zoom has released the Zoom for Chrome PWA (Progressive Web App), which is intended to replace the ChromeOS Zoom app. We strongly recommend admins begin migrating users from the ChromeOS app to the new Zoom for Chrome PWA to ensure a smooth transition.
