Can I use Zoom without downloading the app?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is possible to use Zoom without downloading the app. Zoom offers a web client that allows users to join meetings directly through a web browser, which can be especially convenient for those who do not wish to install additional software. When joining a meeting, users can simply click on the meeting link provided by the host. This will direct them to a webpage that offers the option to join using the browser. However, there are a few limitations when using the web client. Certain features, such as virtual backgrounds and some advanced settings, may not be available in the browser version. It is important to note that while the browser option is available for joining meetings, the host might require participants to use the desktop or mobile app to access all functionalities. For the best experience, users are generally encouraged to download the Zoom application on their preferred device, but the browser option is a valid alternative for those who prefer not to do so. Additionally, users can find more information on Zoom's current web page regarding the various options available.
