Why the Change for Chromebooks?

I've been happily using the web interface on my Chromebook for quite some time. Now I see that it's not going to be supported anymore and I have to sue the app -- which has fewer features than I've been using.

Why are you cutting the features available for Chromebook users?

Thank you! Unfortunately when I click that I see "No permission". Do you have to have a particular kind of account?

(No one else owns the account, but it's a free-level account)

Access to that page is limited to admins and account owners. If you are on a free account, you would not have access to the account level settings, since there are no others on the account to manage.

If you are still having issues with getting the PWA to auto-launch on your Chromebook, I would suggest making sure the old ChromeOS app is deleted.

Hi @Qwertio33

Unfortunately, its not Zoom directly doing this. The Google team has decided to deprecate ChromeOS apps, meaning we are being forced to develop a replacement, which is the PWA. While it doesn't have ALL the same features as the old ChromeOS app, it does have many features the ChromeOS apps did not have and there are many more planned features and enhancements coming for the PWA.

Is there a particular feature you are missing after starting to use the PWA?

I would lke to be able to click on a meeting link (e.g., in a mail message) and have it auto-launch the PWA and join the meeting. Currently, I have to copy/paste the separate parts (meeting ID and so on) into the PWA. I don't have the option to use "account management" and I have removed the old app from the Chromebook.
