The new Zoom Progressive Web App was first announced last week, albeit quietly, and came with the promising of an overall improvement to the experience of using Zoom without a fully native application. This week, over a year into the pandemic that’s made video calls more important than ever, Zoom is debuting its new PWA that enhances its functionality on the web and, specifically, on Chromebooks. It was clear pretty quickly, though, that the company wasn’t fully prepared for the massive influx of customers as security flaws and missing features quickly became evident.
