Zoom's Android app for Chromebooks delivers video conferencing, team chat, and collaboration tools. Designed for remote workers and students needing cross-platform functionality, though some feature limitations exist compared to desktop versions.

Detailed Review

Zoom for Chromebook represents the Android-based implementation of Zoom's video conferencing platform, optimized for Chrome OS devices. The application maintains Zoom's core functionality while adapting to the unique hardware and software constraints of Chromebooks, positioning itself as a solution for educational and professional users in Google's ecosystem. The application delivers comprehensive meeting capabilities including one-tap joining, AI-powered meeting summaries through the AI Companion feature, and integrated team chat functionality. Additional enterprise-grade features include VoIP calling, SMS messaging, and virtual whiteboarding tools. The virtual background feature, while available, demonstrates platform-specific limitations according to user reports, particularly regarding customization options on Chromebook hardware. User experience varies significantly based on Chromebook specifications and network conditions. The interface maintains Zoom's familiar layout but encounters performance inconsistencies, with some users reporting complete failure to display video or audio during meetings. Automatic updates ensure security compliance but may introduce unexpected functionality changes that disrupt established workflows. User feedback reveals polarized experiences, with Muhammad Siraj (July 8, 2025) praising general functionality while requesting virtual background improvements. Conversely, MarieElena Mathena (June 30, 2025) reported severe functionality issues including inability to view shared videos or participants. THE ORIGINAL EARTHMOM (April 5, 2025) noted feature disparities between Chromebook and other platform versions, reflecting consistent concerns about platform parity. The application succeeds as a basic conferencing solution but demonstrates clear limitations for power users. Strengths include seamless scheduling and AI-powered features, while weaknesses center on inconsistent performance and reduced functionality compared to desktop counterparts. Ideal for casual users requiring basic meeting access, though professional users may encounter limitations during resource-intensive sessions.

This app sucks. When I was using the other Zoom it ran perfectly. Now Chrome say I have to use this one. I can't see any videos that are shown during the meeting and sometimes I can not even see or hear the people who are attending. If I could leave a comment without a star I would. This is the worse app I have ever used.
