In most browsers it shows up in a small panel at the bottom left corner of the browser window, although in Firefox there is a downloads button near the top right.Ĭlick on the icon, or the Run file link to run the installer. This will download the installer to your computer (you may be prompted to save the file), and you’ll then have to run it. Go to the Zoom Download Centre and click on the Download button below Zoom Client for Meetings. If you have never joined a Zoom meeting before, you’ll need to install the Zoom App first. If nothing happens, wait 30s before deciding it hasn’t worked.

If you’re using a SmartPhone then you need to install the Zoom app from the Play store (Google) or the App store (Apple). Typically the meeting host will send you an invitation which looks like this: You don’t need to create an account, just follow the link given to you.
