If you experience any technical issues on Zoom the first thing you should do is confirm that you have the latest version of the Zoom client installed on your computer. If you are invited to a Zoom meeting via an URL link, it will automatically prompt to download the app when you click on the URL link. You do not need to pre-install the app. However, to confirm that you have the latest version you can open Zoom and check for updates:
1. Open the Zoom desktop app
2. Click on the initials or profile image for your account in the upper right
3. From the drop down menu click on "Check for Updates..."
4. Download the latest version and then re-open Zoom
5. You may want to "Sign Out" and sign back in to your Zoom client to ensure the update worked
6. If you have any issues please follow this video tutorial:
