Zoom is absolutely horrible for Chromebooks.  Using PWA or Zoom via web has pretty much zero functionality.  For example, unlike Google Meet, Zoom won't auto adjust the light so I always appear as a dark silhouette and I can't blur my back or use real virtual backgrounds.  I'm not sure if Zoom does this intentionally to force users to download its app, but if so, it's a bad business decision.  My new company uses Google Workspace, and for some reason everyone assumes Zoom is the way to go.  I'm convincing them that Google Meet is far superior and getting everyone off Zoom.   The future is cloud based apps and before long very few people will need computers having local software installations.   Zoom's business model is not forward thinking, and really needs to improve its functionality for chromebook users.
