Hi Yanke

I’m afraid not. Surface Hub only supports UWP apps from the Microsoft Store, and Chrome is not currently available in there. Likewise, Edge is the replacement for IE!

I would advise your customers(s) to work on modernising their systems to be compatible with modern web browsers.

Thanks
Dan

Daniel Hudson , what about firefox, safari or chromium edge? I'm trying to use zoom in the browser on the surface hub and it requires one of those 4 browsers. I'm not sure why it doesn't work with the edge built into the surface hub.

As far as I can tell the Surface Hub is rendered almost useless since it cannot/will not install any browsers other than what comes supplied.... Therefor, as a "hub" for meeting with Zoom, etc which demand Chrome or one of three other browsers its about as much use as an ashtray on a motor cycle! Waste of space and money! Sorry Microsoft jmbiksoc1

  It's a vehicle for Microsoft products though, not for Zoom or other competitors. You can always install Windows 10 Pro on i, then you can install whatever you want to.
