Zoom Closer

This extension automatically closes the launched window from Zoom meetings.

Zoom Closer is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to automatically close the Zoom Post Attendee window that appears when launching Zoom meetings from zoom.us. It works seamlessly by using the Chrome Context Script to send a command to a background page to close the tab, ensuring no extra steps for users. The extension requires minimal permissions, only needing access to specific Zoom meeting pages such as 'https://zoom.us/postattende', 'https://zoom.us/j/*', and 'https://zoom.us/s/*'.

Maintained openly with transparent updates like increasing timeout duration and handling various Zoom domains, Zoom Closer is an effective tool for Zoom users seeking to tidy their browser experience. Best of all, it is free and will not be monetized, respecting user privacy and simplicity. For developers and advanced users, its source code is available on GitHub for full transparency and contribution.

User reviews

Users report that Zoom Closer is easy to use and can effectively close Zoom tabs automatically, which they appreciate. However, recurring issues such as frequent failures to close tabs, inconsistent performance, and lack of developer updates have caused frustration. Many users note the extension stopped working entirely at times and struggles with newer Zoom versions. While some improvements have occurred intermittently, the extension's reliability remains a key concern among users.
