Most of the time I don't have problems, that is when I have a strong Wi-Fi connection. When the Wi-Fi sucks, the delay is horrible. Not really the apps fault but still annoying. Also, I log in a few times for the same meeting, and it doesn't save the last phone# as a link. Everytime, I have to enter the number manually. My android phone Zoom app saves it automatically which makes logging in a lot more easier/faster. If they fix this, I will upgrade my stars to 5.
Piece of Junk - this app is nothing compared to what it replaced. It won't SAVE settings. So, I am having to set up video, audio, and my background before each meeting. It won't consistently let me join the video portion of the call. I got locked out of audio on one call, and I had to drop, join again, and drop computer audio. The only waay to get on was to call into the meeting. Don't waste your time with this nonsense. Use the web version, and don't bother with Zoom for Chrome - PWA
I really want to like Zoom on chromebooks but this still isn't working out... I'm using a pixel slate, and my camera doesn't appear. It DOES show when I'm previewing the "virtual background" (aka the circle it puts around your face) but aside from that, I have no way of getting to use my camera, either external or internal in this app. Please fix this, this is very dissapointing.
I like it but I'm not able to change my video background on the Zoom for Chromebook app. I even tried using the web version, but it still won't allow my to change the background. The only way I can do it is through my phone, which is inconvenient when I'm trying to answer work messages at the same time I'm in a zoom meeting.
I'm constantly losing sound during meetings and all I see is a black box whenever anyone shares their screen (host and co-host included). Also, you must have a STRONG signal to use it because when I try to stream a TV service and connect to Zoom at the same time, Zoom starts to freeze, no one elses picture will load on my screen and I have to keep restarting the program just to have sound. I'm very disappointed because I bought a Chromebook solely for the purpose and convience of using Zoom. :-(
I am in Zoom meetings every day. I just got a Chromebook to use to Zoom on. I hate, hate, hate, this version. I can not switch from one device to another. (eg, going from my phone to my Chrombook or back) It also does not store any zoom numbers I use regularly so I have to manually enter the number each time I log on. Mirror image also has to be reset daily. This is so annoying I am about to take back the Chromebook.
It's buggy. I've had my Chromebook for about 8 months, everything was fine until 3 weeks ago when the camera wouldn't work on zoom anymore. I reinstall it and it works for a day or 2, then it's out again. I've been reading that it's happening to a lot of people. I really need this app and I hope the developers can figure this out.
I get a constant "Joining Meeting Timeout or Browser Restriction" error message when attempting to join meetings and breakout rooms. It works maybe 1/10 tries. It is not a network/internet issue, as I can connect from other devices. Clearing cache, history, reinstalling the app, and restarting my device do not correct the issue.
Unreliable and lot's of glitches. Half the time when joining a meeting, the contact isn't there so I have to find it and type it in. Can't add to my contacts so I can save their Zoom info there. Doesn't work. And where my contacts should be seems to be timing out while "Loading". I've logged out and continues to just go around in circles.
Could be better. Zoom is very laggy, and when I'm in a zoom meeting for work and they create a breakout room, zoom won't let me go into it. It always says "internet connection timeout" when my internet is completely fine. I've reported the issue multiple times and haven't heard one thing about it. Very displeased. I've also looked up support and it says on everything that it's because of your 40 minute free zoom meeting, but I'm not the host for the meetings, my internet is great (over 100 Mbps)
So far, I'm hugely disappointed. The video lags and feeezes, it doesn't remember previously used Zoom codes (like the app does on my iPhone and other Windows laptop). I haven't been able to use it enough on the Chromebook to find other issues, simply because I can't get far enough into the experience of actually using the app. Get it together, Zoom.
Crashy McCrash Face. Never had an app of any sort hard boot a Chromebook before, but Zoom managed to be better at that than anything else. From early pandemic to a few months ago the PWA worked fine, even better than the web site, but last few weeks it takes 3-4 tries to connect to a meeting, and today hard booted my chromebook tablet twice in a 60 minute session, once while pressing the unmute button. Not the best yoga experience. =:-o
I recently had to access Zoom on my Chromebook. However, every few seconds, it disconnects and reconnects. I downloaded the app to use it outside of the browser along with this PWA. However, issue still persists. Turns out this has been happening for some time and it appears devs have yet to fix it, instead prompting users to look into connectivity issues. However, it's never connectivity. The app simply refuses to work properly.
So it doesn´t even open and I specifically bought this chromebook to use zoom and continue teaching my classes... Edited: finally realised that it only works through a web browser and not the app itself which makes me think why the hell you would even need to download the app to begin with. Then logging in to have a meeting, I realised the code is in fact different with every session. It´s not the same as the original code that was given to me when I first created the zoom account...
Since downloading the new verson, my ZOOM sessions have been full of lagginess. In a class with 4 of 5 students, this is starting to cause a problem. I really liked the original version so much better!! Plus, when I want to do a screen share, my students can see the share, but I can only actually see a very small preview of the share at the top of my screen. For a teacher, this is not good at all.
Last time I attempted to use this version on my Chromebook, I had audio issues.I couldn't hear my participants nor could they hear me. Now It keeps telling me a new version is available for update, then takes me to google play to download the version they will be phasing out for chromebook. I need to use this at least 3 times a week, and so far I'm NOT happy.
Almost every time I go to join a meeting, I either cant turn on my camera, can't join the computer audio, or cant see anyone else's cameras. Even worse, sometimes the other people in the meetings can't see me, they say my screen is frozen or my camera screen is black. I'll give the app two stars bc I can still hear them for the most part and can still chat. Other than that, Dont Use This Version of Zoom
I really hope they can fix the new Chrome extension before they phase out the old. I am holding on for dear life to the old version because the new extension is so terrible. It is actually almost un-useable. As someone who uses zoom regularly for work, I am really really hoping zoom and google can work out a way for the new Chrome extension to be similar to the version on Windows or Mac.
For the most part it works fine however recently my virtual backgrounds stopped working. I have a Chromebook and there is no longer an option for the background even though the background option is turned on for the meetings. When I log into a room there is no option. It works fine on my phone so I guess I will have to use to that. It just feels uncomfortable because I use it for privacy.
Tried the PWA version today for the first time on my Chromebook. I usually use the Web App. It's a good start but a few things are not right. The two big ones are: - Your own video feed is just black. It's transmitting OK, so other can see you, but you can't see yourself. - The in-app fullscreen button doesn't actually do fullscreen, the window title bar at the top is still visible. The Chromebook fullscreen button gets rid of that, but then the in-app fullscreen button doesn't do anything.
