Having used Zoom on a Chromebook for my most recent Computer Science college classes, I can’t wait to get the PWA installed. Essentially, the goal of PWAs is to replace “in browser” applications with full application functionality. PWA app shortcuts will support notification badges, for example, and PWAs can automatically open when clicking on a web link associated with an app. They have their own independent window instance, like an Android app, for example.īehind the scenes, however, they’re built completely on web technologies just like any other web app you’d run in a browser tab.Īnd the functionality of PWAs has been expanding steadily, making them more on par with traditional software. I’m sure most readers are familiar with Zoom but they may not be sure what a PWA is.Įssentially, these are web apps that act more like traditional software that you’d install on a computer. According to a blog post on Zoom’s site, this will be a new Progressive Web App, or PWA, bringing a much better experience to use Zoom on a Chromebook. On Tuesday, June 29, the Google Play Store will have a new Zoom app available. Though Google says it doesn't guarantee performance, functionality, or stability for those devices.Update: The new Zoom PWA is now available here, a day earlier than expected. If your old computer meets the hardware requirements, you'll be able to install Chrome OS Flex on the device. If your old device is not on the list of official supported devices, don't worry.Google has a support page that lays out all the differences between Chrome OS Flex and Chrome OS.
