    topsplace    		 First time using on my Chromebook and I'm not impressed! When turning on video there was no video only a black screen. Thankfully I could see others, but this was a huge disappointment. When trying to use zoom online it automatically switched me to PWA. Is there a patch or upgrade I'm missing?

    Natalie Flores-McCall    		 I purchased a Chromebook to teach a university course online. The zoom app is awful for Chromebook. There’s no way to see the participant panel while you share your screen - which is critical for meetings - and overall it’s very clunky. My Chromebook lets me do whatever I need but I may need to get a new laptop just because zoom sucks so much on this one.

    Teresa Bestwick    		 I have to admit, since getting my Chromebook, I'm thinking of moving to Google Meet unless the app improves. The video quality is much poorer than on my previous Windows laptop and it's virtually impossible to use much else when you have Zoom open. There's significant lag when you share your screen, which can also cause problems with incoming video and audio.

    Stefan Piperov    		 Not for Chrome, but for ANDROID! That's why it comes from the Google Play Store, and not from the Web Store. Don't be fooled, the whole PWA thing is intended to force you quit using your older Chromebooks, and buy new expensive ones that have Android container. No, Thanks!

    Holmes Wilson    		 Completely failed the audio/video test before a podcast I'm supposed to join tomorrow. Inconsistent audio. Inconsistent video. No way to remediate because there were no settings. And this was on one of the faster Chromebooks! Also, the lack of end-to-end encryption support will make Zoom useless for meeting with one of the teams I work with.

    S Sayer    		 the website tells me that this app is not available on your device. I love my chromebook. Its the 4th one I've bought in 6 years. First screen broke, then the second one had a cord problem. THe third one would not update and this one won't update.

    April Herms    		 I use this on a Chromebook, and it is a much worse experience than the dedicated app that is sunsetting in June 2022. My video keeps freezing, which it never did with the app, and the pwa has fewer options than the app did. This definitely needs some work!

    Laura    		 I can hear but the audio is really distorted. Not sure why this is happening. Can you please fix it? I used Facebook Messenger straight after trying to use Zoom and the audio is perfectly clear. For other calls I need to use Zoom.

    Neil Alderson    		 Updated my review because this app isn't good, lots of annoying things that you don't get on the other versions. Forgets my credentials meaning I have to log back in frequently, doesn't remember meeting IDs, video feeds freeze after a while and never recover, background "filters" are a joke

    Todd Giorgio    		 Bigger resource hog than the previous Chrome OS app. Maybe there are new features, but if I can't get reasonable audio/video quality, those features are useless. All 4 cores of my Point2 14 are pegged and quality stinks even with all other windows closed. Pretty disappointing.
