What the Zoom Chrome extension does
The Zoom Chrome extension adds Zoom scheduling controls to Google Calendar, so you can start an instant meeting or schedule a future one without opening the Zoom app separately. The meeting URL and details are inserted into the Google Calendar invitation automatically, and attendees can join with a single click.
Zoom Chrome extension free vs paid
The extension itself is free to install. It connects to your Zoom account, and Zoom's own service has a free tier with unlimited one-to-one meetings and 40-minute group meetings, plus paid plans that remove the group meeting time limit and add features like larger meeting capacity.
Is the Zoom Chrome extension safe?
It's Zoom's own official extension, built to connect your Zoom account with Google Calendar for scheduling. It needs access to Google Calendar to insert meeting details into invites; beyond that, it doesn't run video or audio itself, which happens in the Zoom app or web client.
