This article is all about setting up Zoom for Chrome PWA on your Chromebook.
Zoom serves as a cloud-based video conferencing platform that facilitates live chat, webinars, audio conferences, video conferences, and meeting recordings. Zoom is readily available as a PWA App from the Play Store and as a Chrome extension from the Chrome Webstore, with strong support.
In August 2022, Zoom terminated its support for the Chrome OS App. And as of November 5, 2022, the app could no longer be searchable in the Chrome Web Store. Nonetheless, one can access it via the direct link.
At the moment, installing the PWA app from the Google Play store is the better option if you want to use Zoom on your Chromebook. Progress Web Apps, or PWAs, are essentially online apps disguised as desktop or mobile native apps. They provide greater reach and dependability and are constructed with web technology.
What is PWA (Progressive Web Application)?
A website that acts and looks like an app is known as a Progressive Web Application. To create an app-like experience, a conventional online application has been improved with web technologies. Like a native app, a user can access all the information and features on that website. An efficient PWA typically loads quickly, is compact, and performs well.
To begin, launch Google Play on your Chromebook and look for Zoom for Chrome PWA. On your Chromebook, click to install it.
After that, log in using your credentials. You can arrange a Zoom meeting, create a new one, or join an existing one using the incredibly straightforward UI that will be displayed to you.
You gain access to every feature available in native mobile or desktop Zoom apps such as;
- Making or ending a call
- Screen sharing for your Chromebook
- Select an external webcam or use the webcam on your Chromebook to enable video.
- Make use of an external microphone or the built-in one that comes with your Chromebook.
- Interact with those on the call
Conclusion
