Restart the Zoom app
Close Zoom completely and relaunch. On desktop, check Task Manager/Activity Monitor to ensure it fully quit.
- 3
Update to the latest version
Zoom frequently patches bugs and improves connectivity. Update via zoom.us/download or your app store.
- 4
Try the web client
If the desktop app fails, join via browser at zoom.us/wc. Web client bypasses app-specific issues.
