As of October 18, 2022 Chrome OS users will be prompted to use the Zoom PWA rather than the Chrome OS app. The Chrome OS app is being phased out by Zoom. Here is a timeline:


  • August 2022 - Zoom ended support for the Chrome OS App. 
  • November 5, 2022 - The app will no longer be searchable in the Chrome Web Store. 
  • January 15, 2023 - When Chrome OS users click Zoom links, the PWA will automatically launch. This change will be made by Zoom.
  • February 1, 2023 - The Chrome OS App will be fully removed and no longer available.


We are making this change ahead of time, by requiring Chrome OS users to use the PWA instead of the Chrome OS app.
