Configuring the Zoom for Chrome Zoom Web App

Last Updated:

If you're an admin that manages Chrome apps, you can configure the Zoom for Chrome Zoom Web App using the Google Admin console. This allows you to deploy the Zoom Web App to your users with exactly the install and configuration policies that suit your needs.

For more information regarding how to use the Zoom for Chrome Zoom Web App once configured and deployed, please refer to the getting started guide.

Note: The Zoom for Chrome Zoom Web App is separate from the ChromeOS app and is intended to replace it, as support for ChromeOS apps are being phased out across all operating systems by November 5, 2022. We strongly recommend admins begin migrating users from the ChromeOS app to the new Zoom for Chrome Zoom Web App to ensure a smooth transition.
