Live answers in Zoom on the web
One thing decides whether Cue can help you in a Zoom call: whether you are in the browser or in the desktop app. An extension can only reach a browser tab, so the web client is the whole story here.
Compatibility
Exactly where it runs.
No small print further down the page: this is the whole compatibility story for this platform.
Getting started
Three steps, once.
Join from your browser
Zoom prefers to hand you to the desktop app. On the join page, take the “Join from your browser” link instead — that is the client Cue can work with.
Allow the Zoom site once
The extension asks for access to zoom.us the first time you use it there. It is a one-time question, and it is Chrome asking, not us.
Click the icon and start
The window opens over the call, and the first question aimed at you turns into a card.
In the call
What a card looks like here.
Zoom
Trippi Cue
Heard in the call
Can you talk us through how the pricing works for a team of fifty?
Suggested answer
Per seat, billed monthly, with the volume step starting at twenty-five — so fifty lands in the second tier.
A mock-up, not a screenshot: real ones go here once the extension is in the store.
An instruction like “talk us through” never carries a question mark, and the Zoom web client does not always punctuate what it renders either. That is exactly why the local filter watches for imperatives and not only for the question mark.
How it differs
Cue and what Zoom already has.
It does not need your account plan
Zoom’s own assistant features depend on your licence and on what the account owner has enabled. Cue depends on neither — it is your browser extension.
It joins nothing
No bot in the participant list, no recording consent prompt for the room, nothing for the host to approve.
It works for the guest, not the host
You do not have to own the meeting or have host rights. Cue helps whoever is sitting in the tab.
When it misbehaves
Troubleshooting.
The icon does nothing on Zoom
You are most likely in the desktop app, not in a tab. Check that the call is running inside your browser — the address bar should show zoom.us.
Cue disappeared after the page reloaded
The Zoom web client reloads on some transitions. If you declined the one-time site access, the extension has to be started again by clicking the icon; granting the access keeps it available across reloads.
The window opened but hears nothing
Zoom’s audio has to be playing in that tab — check that you joined with computer audio and that the tab is not muted.
Still stuck? Write to us — the message arrives with your version and platform already filled in.
Where the audio goes
From your browser straight to our speech-to-text provider over an encrypted connection. It does not pass through our servers, and it is never recorded. The recognised lines become one prompt for the model and are dropped with the answer.

FAQ
Zoom, specifically.
Why does the desktop app not work?+
Because it is not a browser page. Chrome extensions can only see tabs, and the desktop client is a separate application — this is a hard limit, not a missing feature.
Do I need to be the host?+
No. Cue runs in your browser and knows nothing about your role in the call.
Does Zoom know Cue is running?+
There is nothing to tell it: no bot joins, no API is called, nothing is sent to Zoom. The extension listens to the sound your browser is already playing.
What about Zoom webinars?+
If the webinar runs in a browser tab and its audio plays there, Cue behaves the same way it does in a meeting.
Your next Zoom call, with the answer already on screen.
Trippi Cue is free in the Chrome Web Store. One click on the icon in the call, and the first ten minutes are on us.
