Chromebook Zoom clash: During the Covid-19 epidemic, video calling applications like Zoom were quite popular because of the ease with which they let individuals to communicate with others around the world. While the business as a whole is functioning well, it appears that Chromebooks will no longer be able to use the Zoom app in the near future. The Zoom app will soon stop functioning on Chromebooks, and the firm has begun notifying customers. Everything you need to know is laid out below.
Zoom “will no longer be officially supported after August 2022,” the notifications warn, as reported by 9to5Google. When will the Chrome Web Store stop blocking the Zoom app? Google said in August 2020 that it will stop supporting Chrome applications because, with the development of the open web, there would be no longer be any need for them.

Zoom is being discontinued along with the rest of Google’s Chrome applications for ChromeOS in June 2022. However, the notice states that this will occur in August of this year, suggesting that the deadline has been extended by the corporation.
How then will the Zoom app function on Chromebooks?
The web version of the service will still be available to anyone who lose access to the app, so there’s no need to fret. The “new Zoom for Chrome PWA to connect on ChromeOS,” the video calling service’s official announcement adds, “functions just like it does on macOS.” Simply said, with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), users may expect an app-like experience while accessing the services via a web browser.
The Zoom PWA may be found easily by searching Google using that term. You’ll be sent the download link. It only takes one click of the “Join Meeting” button after starting the Zoom for Chrome PWA for users to go right into a conference call without having to sign in beforehand. Simply select the Sign in tab to begin or plan your own meeting.
