Configuring the Zoom for ChromeOS app

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: 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.
