Zoom says more features will be added to its PWA and, in turn, Chromebooks over the next 3-6 months.

Unlike the previous, very limited web app, this new PWA for Zoom will apparently offer “much of the same” functionality as the Windows and Mac apps, crucially including a customizable Gallery View, self-select Breakout Rooms (if supported by the meeting), both live transcription and translation, “a new background masking” privacy feature, and both raise hand and reactions for meetings. The new app will be available for installation through the Google Play Store, a practice that started last year, as well as being available to install from the web directly as is offered by many other PWAs. Zoom quietly announced this week that it would be releasing a brand new Progressive Web App on June 29 that will offer up a better overall experience from Chromebook owners using the service. Next week, though, that’s apparently set to change. Zoom was the biggest name in the game for quite a while and still is extremely popular, but if you’ve ever used it on a Chromebook, you’re probably aware that it’s not quite up to snuff. If you’re a Google Calendar user it’s especially useful and integrates Zoom seamlessly into your daily workflow.Video conferencing exploded in popularity during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the early days as many businesses and schools went remote for the safety of employees and students. The Zoom Scheduler extension is an essential add-on if you’re frequently scheduling Zoom meetings. All its features are available, and while the Chrome app will eventually be replaced, Chrome OS is well-positioned to make continued Zoom use a breeze. Zoom is a service that has been designed to work well on the web, which makes it perfect for use on a Chromebook. Basically, the Zoom Scheduler extension makes using Zoom as convenient as Google Meet. A new Meeting ID will be generated and attached to the Google Calendar entry which can then be shared as normal. Once installed, any appointment you schedule on your calendar can be turned into a Zoom meeting by clicking the ‘Make it a Zoom Meeting’ button. The extra benefit of the Zoom Scheduler extension is its integration with Google Calendar. The first is to allow you access to all the same tools as the web dashboard, and is accessible by clicking the extension and entering your Zoom login details. You can now enter all your meeting specifics such as time, date, and topic, as well as generate a Meeting ID and add a secure pass code if you wish.Īn even more convenient way to schedule Zoom meetings is with the Zoom Scheduler (opens in new tab) extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once you’re logged in, head to the ‘Meetings’ page and click ‘Schedule a Meeting’. The most basic way to schedule a meeting on Zoom from your Chromebook is to use the web dashboard.
